Fullerton lies near the center of Nance County, of which it is the county 
seat, at the junction of the Loup and Cedar rivers, on the U. P. Ry., 
218 miles due west of Omaha. It has a population of 1,600. The Cedar 
river is of inestimable value here in affording water power, as its 
course forms numerous horseshoes of from one to three miles in length. 
An excellent flouring mill is in operation here, having a daily capacity 
of 150 barrels of flour and from three to four carloads of feed. It 
utilizes the water of two turbine wheels of 48 and 60 inches respectively. 
Its mill race is 200 feet long, emptying back into the river again which 
has traversed one and a half miles and has a fall of 14 feet. These 
horseshoes are very numerous here and can be easily put to use. The 
Citizens State Bank is a local monetary institution recently incorporated 
and has a capital of $60,000. It occupies the lower floor of a splendid 
brick block recently erected of St. Louis pressed brick, costing $20,000. 
Other improvements consist of handsome residences and several brick blocks. 
The press is ably represented by the Fullerton Post, democratic, James W. 
Tanner editor, and the Nance County Journal edited by M. H. Barber. Frank 
S. Gay is still the popular proprietor of Gays hotel and is deserving of 
patronage. The churches are M. E., Presbyterian and Baptist, the two 
former having splendid edifices.
