All were unanimously of the opinion
that Valentine has more natural ad
vantages than any town along this
line of Rail Road ,
Our Hotels are as usual over crowd
ed and our town is lull of people at
tending court. Business with , our
merchants is not as brisk as if each
was here to trade though a goodly
number of those in attendance at
court will no doubt avail themselves
of the oppurtunity of purchasing a
bill of goods before they leave town.
There are bargains toybe secured of
our merchants both in quality of
goods and low prices which defy com
petition and their itnmense'stocks of
goods afford a better selection than
can be had elsewhe/e.
The special attention of our towns
people who visit Omaha is directed to
the prominence of The Millard Hotel
and to the first-class service and rea
sonable rates that are offered by the
management to their patrons. The
Nebraska Grain Dealers Association
selected The Millard as the place for
holding their annual meeting. April
30 , and the attendance was very large. S
The Nebraska State Medical Society
held the 1902 annual meeting The
Millard May 6 , 7 and 8 , and there was
a very lanre attendance at this high
ly important medical mteting. The
annual State Encampment of the o
Grand Army of the Republic and the S
associate meeting of the Womens
Relief corps , were held in Omaha ,
May 22 and 23 , and The Millard was
selected as head quarters for that o
'great occasion. Several hundred
members were present. The Millard
has also been selected as headquart
ers for the June races at Omaha , June
24-27 , the opening race meeting of the
Nebraska circuit. When it is remem
bered that The Millard rates areas
low as $2.00 per day on the American
plan and 81.00 on the European plan
that the hotel has been newly fur
nished , that the cuisine and service
is ffrst-cJass iu every particular , and
that the location of the hotel
is the most central of any in
.Omaha , convenient for all street car
lines , wholesale and retail districts ,
banks , car line to South Omaha , etc. ,
it is easily understood why The Mill
ard secured " all the above named
