LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 8. (Special.)
Overhanging- clouds and threatened rain
did not item to dampen the ardor of the
people who desired to sea the Nebraska
state fair this morning.
At noon It had been decided by the
management to attempt to have the races,
)nit the track was pretty heavy at the
time. Lincoln Beachey, who made the
first ascent of the day in his aeroplane
about noon, assured the management that
the air seemed lighter above the low
hanging clouds, and taking courage from
the Beaohey tip. It was derided to make
the attempt to carry out the race tracK
Vwt am.
As yesterday. Beachey made several
Rood flights during the day, the itgli
wind not seaming to bother him at all.
He mado the usual upside-down flights
and looped the loop as easily as If there
were no breese stirring. Beachey has
caught the crowd, who appreciate the fact
that he cares little for conditions and
makes his flights strictly on time.
Groindi I,arae ttnoagh.
Many people were surprised at the In
creased attendance yesterday, It seeming
to be the opinion that the crowd was
smaller than on previous years. The so
lutlon of It all Is the agricultural and
horticultural hall. In former years these
displays have been In the center of tho
grounrta and naturally drew the crowds.
"With the new, hall located on one side, the
crowds have been drawn to that locality,
leaving' the usually congested center un
crowded and spreading out the crowd over
a larger territory.

To Our Stockholders:
The above signifies that this company is arriv
ing at the stage in its steady and successful growth
when no more stock is to be issued or sold, for the
reason that the present amount of capital, when in
use, in conjunction with other facilities, will, it is
deemed, be amply; sufficient for the conduct and
further extension of this company's large and stead
ily growing business. . .
.ftor Ihe limiting of this comp.iny's capital the management
rill follow out the plan of operation cf the largest, best managed
und most successful companies of their kind in the world; that is, in
place of .selling 6toek indefinitely for the purpose of financing our
continually increasing business, wo have adopted the very simple
plan of selling bonds.
One such company in the first twenty-four years of ojeration,
by the use of this plan, was 'enabled' to accumulate more than nine
teen times its capital in the form of surplus, and its total assets in
this time grew to more than twenty.-four million dollars.
Another such conipany in sixteen years accumulated over nine
hundred thousand dollars by this same plan, while its assets grew to
over three and one-half million dollars.
It mill, therefore, be readily understood that by discontinuing the sale of
stock, and Instead, to issue its bonds, that tbls company's Mock Mill steadily
"increase tn value because of Increased earning power for the bonds mill be is
sued for Ions time periods, bearing a fixed rate of interest which, while much
better than the rate paid by Savings Hanks, mill he low enough to permit this
company to make a considerable profit over and above tbe fixed Interest rate;
and these profits mill naturally accrue to tbe company's stockholders. .
Hereby announces that its capital has been fixed
at $750,000--It is deemed that this amount of
capital in conjunction with other facilities will be
amply sufficient for this company's large and
growing business.
To the Public:
The abovo announcement signifies that the opportunity to-become
a shareholder in this company is limited to those who will act
in the very near future.
Our business, which is that of building homes and business
buildings, and the purchase and development of carefully : selected
real estiite for sale, is one of the most conservative, non-speculative,
anrprofitnblt! businesses in which money can be engaged, as is evi
denced by the great real estate fortunes which have been amassed in,
every city in the land.
This company is organized so ns to secure profits from more
operations in the handling of this line of business than any other sin
gle institution of i4s kind in the middle west. ;
This company is equipped, to secure and combine the profits,
which ordinarily are divided among loan institutions, which finance
the purchase of improved real estate on the easy payment plan, the
architect, the building contractor, the mill work manufacturers, the
jeal estate agent and the real estate owner, each branch of the work
beinf handled by experienced men, who combine their efforts under
a single management in a most economical and efficient manner.
Our Success can be Judged best by Ilesults -
This company has never paid lens than 8 dividend. - .
Since January 1st, 1913, it has paid three semi-annual dividends at tbe
annual rate of 8ro.
Our assets are far in excess of (6 00,000 and are growing steadily, as is
the volume of our business.
ThoHO mho have matched this company during the past years, and m-ho
have Keen It reach Its present position of stability and prominence through the
most conservative, and yet progressive, kind of business management, cannot but
realize that the present action of tho company in limiting its capital and arrang
ing to carry on its future business extenslona by means of borrom-ed capital, to
be secured at a low fixed interest rate, Ih simply another indication of the cr
active, producing power of Ita plan of operation.
The man who will make a thorough investigation of this company will find that we have built up one of the most effi
cient organizations in the middle west for the handling of Real Estate and the business of improving Real Estate in a safe
and profitable manner.
The opportunity to own stock in this company is limited to those who will join us in the very near future.
