Norfolk, Neb., Nov. 5, 1917.
Dear Sir:-I neceived your Letter
this morning, and hasten to reply. /
feel that you can make no mistake in
the purchase of North American Ho-
tel company stock. The pioneer work
of this company is adding enormously
to the progress of the Middle West
They are building fine hotels. well
managed and they will revolutionize
the comfort of the travelling public.
/ am convinced after my investiga-
ton, of the integrity and high stand
ing of the men who are managing
this enterprise. 1 can see no better
proposition to invest money in than
in a necessity, and good hotel is a
necessity-and when you give the
public something they want and are
willing to pay/for it. there must be
good profits to be made.
The hotel business is an established
business, and each new hotel that this
company builds will be a milestone
that marks the progress of the Middle
West.
Buy as much of this stock as you
feel you can afford.
Yours truly,
FRED D. VOLT,

Dear Sir: Relative to the North
American Hotel company of Omaha,
n b., who are building a hotel at this
point, will say that We have had
number of transactions with this firm,
which have been entirely satisfactory.
All statements made by them to US
have been fully carried out and their
business is conducted in a business
like manner.
They are building a six-story hotel,
thoroly modern in every way at this
place and also building a number of
hotels at other points and it looks to
us as though they have been fortu-
nate in picking out cities which are
badly in need of hotel facilities and
which should pay excellent dividends
from their operation.
We are of the opinion that they
will meet with excellent success at
this point and also the other places
where they have hotels under course
of construction.

favorably with the better hotels OF
