1918
Now let's forget 1918, our year of trials
and tribulations. 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. If you are not getting ready for a big
year you will find that you have overlooked op
portunity's warning.
Come in and let us tell you why.
