Big Business
Here is Your Opportunity
' On account 'Of the unprecedented scarcity of office space
in Omaha, large businesses have been unable to expand as
progress has demanded of them, and the situation has become
:.acute.r'-4 --.-':.' -
; Atr'unusual opportunity is offered to lease an entire mod
ern,' fireproof, four-story office building in the business dis
trict of Omaha.
The building is located between 18th and 19th streets on
Douglas street, is only six years old and was built scientifi
cally by the Nebraska Telephone Co. to afford exceptional
light and air for all offices.
It contains approximately 14,000 square feet of space
and is suitable for almost any business. The lessee will be
given the privilege of naming the building, which will be of
priceless advertising value.
We have a number of applicants for entire floors and
smaller suites, but as we prefer to lease the whole building
to one tenant, we are delaying action in order to allow larger
concerns to figure the utility of the building for their pur
poses. Because of the dearth of office space, quick action is
essential, and an immediate inquiry will be to your advantage.

Home Builders
(Incorporated)
Like An Open Book
Home Builderp' method of business is simple, and
safe. -
Simple because it does only two things : Finances
and Builds. v
Safe because it takes mortgages to secure all
money advanced.
Income from interest and builder's profit enough
to pay regular dividends and lay by a substantial
Reserve Fund after all current expenses are paid.
Not $100 of Mortgage nor Bonded Debt
Dividends are paid regularly July 1st and January 1st.
6 is guaranteed on any money you invest in Home Builders'
$1.00 Shares, which are convertible any time after 12 months
through the American Security Co., Fiscal Agents.
It is very probable that when the present allotment is ex
hausted there will be no more shares offerd at 6.
You can order any number up to 5,000 by mail or in
person. - ... ':' -

The Best
Fire Insurance Is
Fireproof Construction
PLAN your home wisely against the
perils of fire. Beware of this grave
hazard that is constantly destroying life
and property without warning.
Any structure that is built of inflammable
material is ever in danger of total de
struction. The safe, sane and sensible
means of providing fire protection is to
build fireproof exterior walls of
STOP
KELLASTONE is more than a fire re
tarder it is absolutely fireproof. It never
flinches when exposed to the evils of fire,
water, wear or weather doesn't crack,
crumble, expand or contract like ordinary
stucco. Bonds perfectly, seals the walls
tight sets , up in a hard stone-like mass
withstands sudden jars and intense
vibration.
Without disturbing the occupants with
out taking off the old siding you can
transform any old frame or brick building
to one of modern design by over-coating
it with KELLASTONE. The cost is little
the results beautiful and permanent
prolonging the life of the structure and
increasing its value.
