For, black as it was, it is over and a new era of peace and prosperity is before us. Nineteen Nineteen is our problem now, and we usher in the New Year with a sense of relief. It is our year and we can make, it one to be re membered. Look your local business situation square in the face and deal with it from the angle of perfect understanding and confidence. The farms of Nebraska have produced more revenue for owners during 1918 than during any other year and therein lies the basis for the pros perity of the community. Other lines of business and the wage earner have prospered too, with few exceptions. So why hesitate? Never has your territory been in better financial shape for buying auto mobiles.
