Nebraska Auto Auction Market
Open to Member Sales
The Police Federal Credit Union and the

the auction is welcoming members to sell
their vehicles at its weekly car auction.
Advantages of this opportunity include a
timely sale of your vehicle to qualified buyers
who pay market value, with fast and secure

market regularly attended by 1OO’s of dealers from several states, both live and online,

Post-Holiday Bills Blues?
Did everything cost a little more
than you
budgeted
for this
season?
Are those
bills
causing
a pain in your wallet? How about
a Personal or Share Secured Loan
to consolidate your debts? Pay
off all those holiday bills plus that
unexpected appliance replacement
with a low-interest loan that will
put your budget back in the pink,
instead of the red.
To apply or ask questions, call 402391-4040, option 1, or apply online.
Weren't they boooo-tiful?
