NEBERGALL
PLANT GROWING
Company, Recovering from
Fire with Larger Plant
Than Before
Albany's Hotels -Are
Credit To
Entire State
During the few short yoars that D.
E. Nebergali has been a resident of
Albany he has built up a meat pack
ing business that is now numbered a-
mong the larger packing institutions
of the state. Startingin a small way
with a meat market, Mr. Nebergali
has need his experience gained in the
employe of big Chicago packer and
' gradually built nP until the Nebergali
Heat Company is now in the half
million dollar a year class.
During 1918 the company did a $350,
000 business and was well on the way
to pass the $500,000 mark when a dis
astroos fire broke out in the packing
plant east of the city and completely
destroyed it . Although with but lit
tle more than a half year to run at
full capacity, the plant has almost
succeeded in equaling last year's bus
iness, hi spite of adversity.
But the people of Albany responded
to the call for stock subscriptions and
the firm is once more on its feet in
a bigger and better plant than ever
before. The plant and "equipment,
which will be completed within the
nest SO days; is valued at between
$80,000 and $100,000, and. is one of
the most modern packing houses in
the state. f
The plant furnishes a home market
for al of the cattle, sheep hogs and
other meats that can be raised in this
territory. The equipment will handle
30 hogs an hour, and a proportinate
number of other animals. It is the
desire of the management to use all
meat animals raised in this territory
and every known that Jie can always
sell his product here, whether is K one
animal or a car load. - -
D. E. Nebergali is president; Harry
' Nebergali, vice-president and Dan
Johnson, secretary-treasurer of the
company.
One of the leading assets of any
progressive city or town li the hotels
; and the class of men who conduct
them. In this respect Albany has an
(asset in a high class at hotels, well
.equipped and eomhetedby men who
! know the business.
The city is fast becoming a center
! for commercial traveling salesman,
and automobile tourist durag the sum
mer months. The judgement of the
,seu who buDt these hotels several
years ago has been frequently test
.ioned aa a financial succesa, but today
they are reaping the rewards af a
i'sane investment and by their confi
dence in the future have advanced the
interests of the city aa many way.
i . To the up-todaye stranger who vis-
' its Albany's hotels he is impressed at
once that we are in touch with the
world and prepared to meet the ae
. mands of the highest class of travel-
. era in this respect.

Here From Independei
Mrs. G. Goodrich and Mrs. M. Stan
. ley of Independence registered t the
Albany last night on a business trip
here. '
If you're are as blue as indigo, and
find it hard to smile.
If you think that life is empty, and
to live is not worth while.
If consolation makes you worse.
And you crave to rnle in a hearse.
Bare in mind this little verse, and
'.. Eat a Prvne.
If your house is not insured, and it
burns down, to the ground.
If you lose a million dollars where
it never can be found.
If you're beat up by your wife,
And your joys all turn to strife,
Take a brand new lease on life, ,
. Eat a Prune.
If you love a lady madly, and some
one beats your time.
'If you buy stock at a quarter, and
it drops down to a dime,
If you're so hot and dry
Thauyou think you're going to die
You can live on if you try.
Eat a Prune.
For a prune will knock a bunion; it
will stop your falling hair,
It's the milestone to happiness on the
road from grief and care.
It is wholesome, it is cheap,
It won't perish, but will keep,
It will work, too, while, you sleep
Eat a Prune. ' ' ,
(Passed by the Censor.)
Among the ' many manufactured
products turned out in Albany ia a
line line of dining and library tables,
the output of the Albany Furniture
Factory . Although equipped to make
most any kind of furniture, the fac
tory specialises on tables and a rvatly
market ia found for the entire out-
Pot- - j
The tables manufactured here are of !
fine quality, made from hard wood
and beautifully finished. Less expen
sive tables are also made from fix and
soft woods, but the principal pro
ducts are the better grade of goods.
From 40 to 60 men are employed in
the factory and salesmen keep the.
crew busy to keep up with the orders.
The futrniture factory ia one of Al
bany's moat prosperous institutions
and distributes a monthly payroll
which finds its wsy into the various
business channels of the city.
W. A. Barrett, P. A. Young, A. C. ,
Sehmitt and P. A. Goodkin are direct
ors of the institution, and for the last
year or more Mr. Goodwin has been
in active charge of the business as
manager. -
The factory was originally a wagon
factory operating at Corvallis. It
waa moved to Albany several years
sgo and changed into an organ fac
tory. Later furniture waa made and
through some financial difficulty it waa
dosed down for a time. A new com
pany waa reorganised and the plant
taken over and put upon a firm basis
within the last two years, and today
it ia in a healthy financial condition,
giving work to a good force of work
men and adding to the resources of
the community. .

A Million Dollar Bank
During the past year we have grown into a MILLION DOLLAR BANK
and we desire to thank our friends who have made this possible. We have
tried to grow and deserve to grow. '
Some ten years ago we found that the larger city banks, with the strong
est possible vaults and the best police protection, had as equipment Burg
lar Alarm Systems, and we promptly installed one, which has been in opera
" tion since that time. '
We carry Burglary and Hold-up Insurance to protect us and our de-'
positors. We have tried to keep our equipment in condition to serve you
promptly and accurately.
We solicit a continuance of your patronage for the coming year.
Our President, Mr. E. D. Cusick, has assisted in drawing every law
. passed by the State of Oregon for the Regulation of Banks and the Protec
tion of Depositors.
Your Government Bonds will have to be renewed in 1920 and we will
be pleased to exchange them for you at actual cost of forwarding and re
. turning. When the last coupons are removed hand them to us and we will
make the exchange.
We have foreign connections that enable us to draw drafts on foreign
countries at lowest rates. Anyone having to make remittances will find it to
his advantage to use this bank. We can give you good terms on remit
. . tances to Canada. ' .
