NEBRASKA
THE LAND
OF PLENTY

/ wonder why it is that SO many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their own
homes, when within q few hours
journey is land of plenty-NEBRAS-
kA--where all kinds grain and fruit
can be raised with the least amount of
labor; where cattle and hogs fed on
corn bring handsome profit: where
the climate is healthful and churches
and schools abound; where land is
cheap and can be bought on very easy
terms.
Think of this and if you want infor-
nation about the country send to me
for 1.-The Corn Belt" beautiful illus
trated paper that tells all about Ne
braska, and also for 1.-THE West Ne
braska Grazing Country an interest
ing illustrated booklet containing
large sectional map Of Nebraska.
On the first and third Tuesday of
each month during the balance of this
year cheap excursion tickets will be
sold over our road to Nebraska, so that
people may go and see for themselves.
Ask your ticket agent about this.
