HAT did Rockefeller mean by "PUT MONEY \ TO WORK” (which was what he learned he must do to “get ahead”) ? Just this—he discovered that by INVEST ING $50 it would earn as much money each year as he himself could get for a week’s work. That’s the way to put money to work—INVEST it. A few years ago it was not an easy matter to put money to work. But today there is nothing easier under the sun partic ularly if you live in or near Omaha which is served by Nebraska Power Company. This Company mails money every three months to hun dreds of its customers and other local people. The money we pay these folks is earned for them by their savings which they have PUT TO WORK by INVESTING in shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock. The dictionary •ays “investing” means "to place money so that it will be safe and yield more money”. And that’s just wha't these men and women have done. They have “placed money” in Nebraska Power Company There it is “safe and yields more money” every three months. They own shares of stock — PREFERRED stock, which yields them over 7 % on each dollar they invested. You would be entitled to receive $70.00 a year from 'Nebraska Power Company if you owned only 10 shares of Pre ferred Stock. $70.00 a year is almost $6.00 a month and you would have increased your earnings by just that much and —consider this carefully—it would be money you would not have to do a tap of work for. Your savings, the money you invested, would have done the work and turned the wages earned over to you. Now these’* no reason in the world why YOU can not put money to work for YOUR OWN profit and gain—to enrich yourself and to MAKE MONEY just as Rockefeller did— just as hundreds of our customers and other local people are doing today. i 'j&ne do?* while working in the fields, it dawned upon me that if hods ever toget ahead Imust PUT MONEY 70 WOPK ^JohnD.. - m _ y __ j Nebraska Power Company makes it EASY for you to put monrv fo a-ork and sends you the wages earned every 3 months.

One reason is this: We have NEVER FAILED to pay our Preferred Stock Divi dends. They have been paid-through hard times as ueU as good times—every 3 months without a break, ever since the first shares of stock were issued over six years ago. On every dollar you invest our stock pays over 7% which Is p»id to you in four equal payments each year. These payments are called ‘‘dividends’*. The dates for paying “dividends” ars March 1, June 1, September 1, and December I. It PAYS to put money to work. You could have made $6.00 more a month last year if yon had put only $985.00 to work by investing,it in stock. Why lose this extra money you might just as well have?
