scenes in Omaha on a big white sheet
stretched on the side of every elevator

/ G. IL. Pratt of the Nebraska Telephone
company has made an appeal to the real
estate dealers OF Omaha t. send a large
delegation. This is the talk which he puts
up:
Now you wonder why we are sending
two men at an expense of $3.50 don't you,
and you are wondering likewise why we
are spending $500 to equip the train with
! telephones
We'll, We are interested in Omaha and
in trade excursions. II the men who leave
Omaha in that great palace train make
friends, enough-sne they win-to secure
/ trade enough-and they will-to force NJ.
| z. Smith & Co., to build two more build
ing like they have. we expect to install
seventy-five more telephones But where
do you get in? Why. you will sell them the
! lot and they will bring 800 more people to
the city who will all have to have homes.
We expect to put in telephones in the
homes. Where will you get in? If you are
| alive, you will sell the lots and probably
build the houses. Above all other things
the Nebraska Telephone company is for
trade excursions. We don't expect TO put
telephones in out there on the mountain
tops of Colorado or stretch out wires over
the sage brush OF Wyoming. but we will
help make Omaha a city which will want
more telephones and you will have an op-
portunity to make it a city which will want
more real estate and more homes"
To this It. d. Wead has added his testi-
mony that he has gone on trade excursions
whenever possible and has seen the direct
result of the trips in the real estate bust
ness. Most of the business men say that
F. ID. wead knows.
