G. NJ. GRUENTHER.
TRUSTEE.

That's the sign hanging outside the office
at 3O7 First National bank building in
Omaha. The offices are occupied by the
man who is planning the most stupendous
land sale outside of those conducted by the
United States government
G. M Gruenther is his name He's a
young man, too, to be acting as trustee
charged with the disposition of nearly
75O0OO worth of rich land. Aside from this
there's reason-a cause and effect-for
everything. Mr.. Gruenther has already
made good on similar trusteeships, that's
why he was called to Colorado to assume
this important position.
In Columbus, Neb his home, the man
Gruenther is held in high esteem Not like
the prophet, whose words of wisdom are
best appreciated where he is unknown. Mr..
Gruenther has been lifted by his townsmen
to clerk OF the court at Columbus, an i'm
portant position for any man to hold For
his knowledge Of trusteeships and his sue
cessful record in big land deals, closing
large estates and the like, he Is sought by
attorneys and to act under direction of
courts far and wide. rt
In the First National bank building. he is
at big desk, where everything moves for
ward under his personal direction. The i'm
Mr.. Gruenther's aim is to clean up the
whole $4,000 acres in day. The immensely
OF his undertaking can hardly be appre-
ciated. 1t is stupendous.
From this plain, honest-looking man, the
plan Of disposition must be evolved. His
stenographic dictation is constantly inter-
rupted to answer important questions, meet
men, hear their story and give his decision.
Then back to his work.
Men are fast learning that here Is one
great chance to buy land that has been OFF
pe market under private control until the
surrounding country has become built I'M
Here can be had dear land at a cheau
price.
Thousands have become wealthy through
Investments In good, cheap land Land
that has good SOIL good climate, and good
prospects for future gain by an increase
in its intrinsic value.
