FACTS
Regarding the Hustling
Busine« Men of Em
mons and North
ern Campbell.
Two of the Best Coun
ties to Be Found in
the "Land of the
Dakotas."
These
People Will Give
You
a Square Deal If
You Do Business
With Them.
In calling
we
attention in this Issue to
the liberal and progressive business
and
professional men of Emmons and
northern Campbell counties, we desire
to
emphasize the desirability of
patronising local people
Taking everything into considera
tion, they can do as well as the cata
logue house, and it should not be for
gotten that for every dollar spent at
home practically three-fourths of it
remains in the community.
Taxes, rent, clerk hire, building im
provements, lighting, etc., must in
la rue
part be paid by the home mer
chant. Our schools and churches look
mainly to them, and their prosperity
means the growth of the town.
Shoddy and trash form a large part
of the mail-order house stocks, and
quality is in many cases sacrificed to
price, as they are well aware that the
ordinary individual is not Judge of
the value of goods. Official analysis
of their paints, food products and
other lines show that they are very
often not what they are represented
to be, and therefore the farmers and
others are being bilked outrageously
every way.
When you buy from your local mer
chant you see the goods before you
purchase. He cannot afford to deal
unfairly with you, and nowadays com
petition is so keen that prices are ex
tremely reasonable. The fanner should
remember that in crowding out the
local man he will in the long run re
duce the value of his farm lands and
deprive his growing sons and daugh
ters of business opportunities as well.
Kven supposing that in a few things
a slight saving is effected, is it worth
while to destroy hundreds and hun
dreds of small towns throughout the
country in order to economize a few
dollars?
The home merchant stands for a do
nation to help every legitimate enter
prise projected by the city and coun
try but the mall-order house contrib
utes in no way to our interests.
Credit is never given by them, and the
draining of our rural districts of ready
money in order to enrich a few in
dividuals who foist Inferior goods on
is nothing less than a calamity.
Should this continue, millions and
millions of dollars' worth of town and
adjacent farm property will be de
preciated, and the fanner will suffer
along with all others interested in the
growth and prosperity of the small
towns.
•'ay your cash to the local dealer
and order in as large quantities from
liitn as you do from the catalogue
house in Chicago and he will make
y°u figures that will satisfy you and
here note that moreover It is
hardly fair to ask for accommodation
from the town merchant when times
are dull, and when times are good
send the ready cash to the outsider.
Think it well over and you will come
to the conclusion that all are bene
fited by the growth and advancement
°f the home town, and, everything
considered, the home merchant is en
titled to the patronage of home people.

not forget to say a good word for, as
it is well worthy of recommendation.
It is a tip-top establishment in every
respect for short weight is unknown
here, and it is run in just the right
way. All meats are first-class, and

Blacksmithing, Horseshoeing, Repair

If we were asked to name a place

H. N. TURNER.
Restaurant.
The hotels and restaurants of Emmons
county should be given a prominent
place in these pages, and this establish
ment is a very creditable enterprise.
Business is in good shape, and all pa
trons are properly looked after. Fruits,
fish, oysters, and in fact anything sea
sonable in the market, can be had here,
and the place is kept clean and inviting.
The service is O. K., and a better meal
for the money would be hard to get. The
kitchen is kept very neat, and the trade
is steadily growing. We like to see a
restaurant like this win out. as people
receive proper attention and a square
deal there, and no one can ask more than
that. It is one of the prosperous estab
lishments of Linton, and all departments
of the business are properly looked after.
Though not open long, Mr. Turner has
shown that the people of l.inton and

THE LIN'rON BAKERY.

A home industry such as this gentle
man operates is a considerable benefit
to a town. Here Mr. Obermcycr turns
out bread, cakes, pastry, etc., which are
a credit to him. and which we may say
are just as "mother used to make." The
flour used is the best, the ingredients
pure and unadulterated, and the bakc
room is kept in a very clean condition.
Mr. Obermeier also wholesales, supply
ing the nearby towns, and he has built
up a large trade by square dealing and

that gives complete satisfaction to his

cooking that is home cooking, and her

is all right, too. and Mrs. Carley looks
after business very closely. Her restau
rant is conveniently located, being near
the union depot, and she gets consider
able patronage from the trainmen also,
from the traveling public generally. You
cannot get ajjetter meal in the county
for the money, and Mrs. Carley therefore
holds her trade right along. This lady
owns several lots in Linton, and also
has a good claim. She is industrious
and accommodating, and enjoys the re
spect of the entire community.
HOTEL DAKOTA.
John P. Ffeifle, Prop.

transients as well as local trade are
given obliging attention. Mr. Pfeifle
sets a verv good meal, and nothing is
put on the table that is not the very best.

as a pin. A hotel like the Dakota is a
credit to any town, and we are pleased
to see that it is'doing such a fine busi

gentleman who is well adapted to the
hotel business, and he has many friends

right business men of this section, as
he does a large business and his sales
are increasing rapidly. He is one of
our pushers, understande the land
business fully, and when you do busi

time on a square deal. His list of
city and country property is very
attractive, and there is no better man
to see should you contemplate invest

COUNTY RECORD.
as all our people are interested in the
growth and development of this part
of the state, and land men are firm be
lievers in keeping the addvantages of

The above-mentioned establishment
deserves on its merits a leading
place in our columns, as we dwell on
the commercial interests in this part
of the state, for it has built up a rep

recognized by all. and nowhere can
better goods or lower prices be had.

carried which is clean, fresh, and up

THE BANK OF HAZELTON.
Real Estate, Loans, Insurance.
George H. Niles. President M. E.
Niles. Vice President H. O.
Batzer, Cashier.
In referring to this bank we wish to
draw particular attention to the fact,
that it makes a speciality of farm
loans and insurance, doing a large
business in these lines. There is no
firm or institution in the county that
can serve the public lietter in this
way, as terms and rates are always
eminently fair and the proprietors
can refer to all with whom they have
ever done business. They also do a
general real-estate business, and they
are authorities on this section of the
country. We personally vouch for
these gentlemen, though their record
is such they require no endorsement
from us. Their bank is well managed,
also, and they are open for any and
all legitimate banking that comes
their way. The policy of the bank
is conservative, the funds are secure
ly guarded and every reasonable
effort is made to please patrons.
Ilazelton is greatly benefited by a
bank of this kind. Mr. (ieorge II.
Niles, the president, is an agreeable,
go-ahead gentleman who is making
a decided success of. the institution,
and we would note that he is also a
lawyer in excellent standing. Mrs.
M. K. Niles, the vice president, is a
pleasant and popular lady of great
refinement, and Mr. II. O. Itatzer, the
cashier, is a weighty factor in the
prosperity of the bank.
DACOTAH LUMBER COMPANY.

As wo mention the various lumber
companies in this part of the state

Dacotah by, as it is one of the reliable
and up-to-date kind, and they have -i
reputation for dealing with their cus
tomers in the right manner. All
lumber and building material carried
by them is tip-top, and prices are
never unreasonable. Ilazelton always
gets the proper deal from this yard,
and Mr. Lewis, the local manager, is
we|l liked and a gentleman who fiiK

yard like this would get business any
