Two Plattsrnouth Young Men
Depart for Their Future
Home In Texas.
From Saturday'a Dally.
B. A. Rosencrans, junior mem
ber of the firm of W. E. Rosen
crans & Son, and Ed Scotten, who
for a number of years has been
invoice clerk in the office of Chief
Clerk C. A. Hartford at the Bur
lington store house, will depart
from Omaha tomorrow afternoon
at 4 o'clock for Portland, Oregon,
with a few days' lay-off at Salt
Lake City. From Portland they
will go by boat to San Francisco
and Los Angeles, visiting the
Plattsrnouth colony at Long
Beach for a time. March and
April will be spent in the coast
cities and vicinity, and on June
first they will arrive at San An
tonio, Texas, where they have ac
cepted good positions with the
Los Angeles Heights Improve
ment company and will engage in
a genera! real estate business.
Both- young men are hustlers,
and Mr. Rosencrans has had two
years'' experience in the real
estate business with his father,
and we predict for both success
in their new location. San An
tonio is a growing city and full of
young and thriving business men
and Messrs. Rosencrans and Scot
ten will' add two more to the num
ber who believe in pushing busi
ness along legitimate lines and
will give their customers always
a square dear. We are sorry to
lose them from our midst, but are
pleased to note their having been
called to places of larger useful
ness. May the greatest of suc
cess crown their efforts and en
ergy in the sunny south.
