BIG FIRE DAMAGE
AT SANDSTONE

which was done without a single
break in the service.
The Central Hotel (formerly
the Madison Hotel) owned by
Adolph S. Larson and rented and
operated by Geo. Stevens, which
was refurnished complete from
top to bottom late last summer,
as well as being painted and pa
pered inside and stucco finished
outside, is one pile of ruins. In
the basement of the hotel Newell
Smith had about $5,000 worth of
pickles stored which he had
planned to ship the following
day. From the hotel comer and
bn down the street the following
businesses were completely
wiped out: Hans Halvorson,
grocery and confectionery store;
Geo. Wolf, barber shop; Frank
Smith, pool hall and soft drinks;
Dr. Ernest Bertels, dentist; M.
Bullis, real estate; Bell Telephone
Co., central office and miscella
neous records and supplies; Har
ry Madison, furnished rooms;
Kimball Meat Market, meat and
groceries; Chris Rudisuhle, tire
repair shop and auto repairing;
Mrs. Smith, .restaurant’.
All in all there were twelve
individual business places made
homeless , and several of the ow
ners are busy trying to find tem
porary quarters. The telephone
company was perhaps the first to
secure a location* getting a pri
vate house directly across the
alley, and their crew was busy
yesterday setting poles, and get
ting other material to the place.
The drug store, Klein’s Clothing
House and White’s pool hall is
all that remains of the block.
Mr. White’s building is of brick
and the flames were checked
sufficiently to not damage the
building, a force however was on
hand ready to move out the in
side furnishings in case the
flames had gone through.
There' were six individual
buildings destroyed as follows:
Adolph S. Larson's hotel; the
Brick Block, owned by Bullis
and Jepsen; a wooden structure
with rooms upstairs owned by
Harry Madison; and three indi
vidual business houses owned by
Hans Jepsen. It was impossible
to get an accurate estimate of
the entire loss,, but from various
reliable sources it was thought
that the buildings and contents
would amount to SIOO,OOO. As
far as could be learned all the
buildings x and business places
were covered at least partly by
insurance. However, it will be a
very serious loss for many of
them.
The fire broke out at 8:30 in

MODERN HOUSEWIFE
HAS NO TIME TO
WASTE ON CANVASSER
An eminent economist, former
ly of the University of Wisconsin,
has discovered that there is no
economy in buying of canvassers.
In giving advice to women shop
pers, he says that retail stores
sell more reliable goods at lower
prices than do traveling sales
men. Also this same economist
calls women’s attention to the
fact that goods may be purchased
at stores more quickly and at
times set apart for the purpose,
whereas the agent or canvasser
usually comes at the most inop
portune moment, interrupts the
busy housewife who knows that
time spent in such a way sadly
interferes with the household
routine. In the old days women
seemed to have more time to
give to the canvassing and cata
logue method of buying, for their
'households were not systematized
and there was no routine of work
to be interrupted. But in this
modern world women have dis
covered that time is money to
them as well as to their men
folk. Therefore the up-to-date
housewife systematizes her
housework and is justly annoyed
when a .needless ring of the door
bell or telephone interferes with
her routine.
She has no time to order by
catalogue and return goods. In
her busy schedule there is a time
set aside for shopping when she
concentrates her effort and buys
as her husband would buy for a
business. The women who are
just “looking about’’ are seldom
found nowadays asking for a
clerk’s time and wasting their
own. They watch the advertise
ments in the newspapers to see
where they can buy to the best
advantage; they make a careful
shopping list, and when they get
down town there is no time
wasted.
Therefore, the advertiser who
calls by telephone to tell a
woman about his product knows
little about modern feminine
habits. He is antagonizing the
woman and making her want to
avoid his particular article when
she buys. Such an advertiser
would never think of calling a
business office and interrupting
a busy man with an advertising
speech. The average house
keeper is rapidly becoming as
businesslike as her husband. She
has a system for her day’s work
and does not enjoy having it in
terfered with. When the time
comes to shop she will shop,
and when the time comes to
decide on what she will buy she
prefers to choose that time and
usually it is the quiet hour in
the early evening when she takes
the evening paper, runs over the
advertisements and quickly
marks on her shopping list what
she wants to buy‘the next day.
Just jiow the systematic
housekeeper *is shopping ex
tensively, for January is the
month when she replenishes her
household supplies at bargain
prices as well as filling in empty
spots in her own and her chil
dren’s wardrobes. —Duluth Her
