FINNEY & CODINGTON,
NNOUNCE to the Travelling Public that they
u have purchased the entire interest in the Ferry
across the Missouri River at the City of Brown
vile, Nebraska, and open the Season with a
new substantial and commOdious Ferry Boat,
run by Horse Power, which arrangement viii secure
certain passage at, all times and in all kinds Of
weather. The PrOprietOrs do not assert boastingly,
or for the purpose Of gaining custom merely, but are
governed by facts, when they say this is the best
crossing of the Missouri River in Nebraska, and
when they say the route from BroWnville TO Fort
Kearney and from thence to California is the nearest,
for evidence they refer the reader to the map of the
Country; and are warranted in saying it is the most
practicable route by personal experience, as well as
that of hundreds Of others who have travelled it,
We claim therefor that this crossing and route holds
out peculiarly favorable inducements, to persons
going to California, and solicit their patronage. Not
Hithstanding our superior arrangements for a safe
and speedy crossing, ourcharges are the same as other
Ferries in Nebraska, all being regulated by Legisla-
tive enactment.
A skif will be in readiness and q hand on The
ground to run al hours Of the night.
Recollect that with our facilities Of Power,
no kinds Of weather VIII prevent our Boats from
making regular trips Mt all hours.
