The Journal joins with the many friends of the happy people, in wishing them all the joys which this old world l as in store for them, and that their lives may be as free from those things which make of life an un pleasant and dreary waste as is possi ble. This life has many possibilities, and in the field which we enter for success in any line the chances of all are about even, some think them selves become handicapped, and be at a disadvantage in the race for whatever they may prize at the end, but if they will only put fourth the best effort and, employ all the resources which are at hand, the banner they prize in the end will be theirs. So in the married state, that happiness which we wish our young friends who are starting in the race, is theirs for the taking. Make of this home which you are now going to build an emblem of that other home in the great hereafter, and your happiness here will be complete and assured in the world to come. Mrs. Wm.

H. Schlegel, Murray, Nebraska, For Sale Millinery, a small clean stock, doing good business,- only stock in town. Good reasons for selling. Mrs. G. L. Colbert, Murdock, Neb. . Goorgo Spanglor, a Cass County at tho Capital of Mobraslia REARED OH 318 Dul Hon a Uombor of moss Firms George A. Spangler was born about 44 years ago on his father's farm three and one-half miles south of this city, and lived on the farm until about fifteen years ago, when he thought he might get along as well somewhere else as on the farm, and he went to Lincoln and took a course in the business col lege. After he had completed his course in the school he secured a po sition in the wholesale house of John Kirkpatrick & Co, of Lincoln, where he worked for three or four years. After a few years in this line he resign ed the place which he had occupied since he left the business college, and accepted a position in the wholesale gents' furnishing house of Herman Bros., who also operated a manufactur ing plant for shirts, overalls, etc. With this house he stayed until about two years ago, when in company with an other clerk in the same house, E. R. Deputy, they embarked in business for themselves, under the firm name of the Deputy-Spangler Hat Company. In this they did well, and have succeeded even beyond their expectations. Now they have purchased the Hardy Glove Manufacturing Company's plant and are running this in connection with their wholesale house, and in all employ something near forty people. In the glove factory they employ about twenty five people and receive the supplies by the car-load. On the road now they keep employed about fourteen men who cover the entire western country. They have three brands of fir hats which they make a specialty of, the "Controller," which retails at $1.50, the "Spangler", which retails at $2.50, and the "Deputy" which sells for $3.00, all of which can be found on sale in this city. George Spangler was an ordinary citizen, plowing corn, making hay, husking corn, and other kinds of work of a similar character. In this he did not see a very clear future, and so he thought he would try something else. He was now twenty-nine years old and while some people might have said he was too old to go to school, he dropped the farm work, and with his country ways, his rough, calloused hands, wenc to the city to make his way. Here he first took a course in a business college LL- THE - I907-SEPTEMBEIMS07 ssfl!? Hun MOHJTUES. 3 IKi?hh5 21 YOm 1907-OCTOBER- W suN.M0M,iuu.wrp.mBl f m .

At the school he studied and learned, too; he knew that in order to plow corn he had to work, and if he husked seventy-five bushels of corn in a day he would have to work to do it. So when he went after the lessons in school, he knew that the work and the determination which had brought the tasks on the farm to a successful term ination, would also solve the vexing questions in the school room, and later in the business experience. After leav ing school and entering the employ of the Kirkpatrick company, he was as alert to learn as he had been in school, and as a consequence made rapid ad vances. In his coming into contact with the world in hi3 new position he felt that the interest of his employers was his interest, and when he came to do busi ness for himself he did not have to re vise his business ethics, but was in a position for the pushing of the business which was his own. He and his partner are now enjoying a fine business and with the field they occupy and the care ful attention they are putting to the business which they have acquired, the future looks bright to them. About eleven years ago Mr. Spangler married, and he has a nice home in the capitol city where he lives. Thi3 success which has come to him in the venture, is the result of applica tion to business and not afraid to work, with the welfare of the patrons of the concern for which he is working, and the firm, always in view. What he has done anyone can accomplish if they will only put forth the effort, and make the sacrifices, in order to win that success in the end. This was not done by spend ing his evenings in the saloon, the club, or reading trashy novels. But it was the result of living within his mean3 and saving what was left after paying for a good living, and carefully invest ing it; and knowing every detail in the business which he has chosen as hi3 vocation in life. Mr. Spangler's many friends will be pleased to know that he has wrested the banner of success from seemingly adverse circumstances, and we for one are pleased to see one of our own boys climbing the ladder of fame.
