organized. The salary to go with
the office was fixed at $50 per
month. Aldermen Johnson, Kent,

do to take care of the orders re
ceived.
Next year the company will

plant*. A modern steam drier will

dry the bricks in 24 hours, whereas
the process now requires from two

to making tile, for which there is a
great demand.

OLD SETTLERS
IN REUNION
More Than One Thousand People
Attend Annual Picnic at
New London.
In spite of rain early in the
morning and threatening weather
later in the day more than 1000
people attended the old settlers pic
nic at New London last Thursday.
The program of the day included
speeches by Senator Thorpe, Jonas
Monson and Martin Olson, Dean
Woods of the state agricultural
school, and Henry Feig, who de
livered an address in memory of
the old settlers who died during
the past year. Dean Woods em
phasized the importance of conserv
ing the natural resources of the
country as well as the importance
of agricultural education, and he
urged that this subject be put in
the curriculum of all public schools.
The old settlers held a business
meeting in the morning and elected
the following officers for the com
ing year: Jonas Monson, president
Peter Broberg, first vice president
Dr. J. S. Gibson, second vice presi
dent A. O. Forsberg, secretary,
and A. N. Lewis treasurer. 22
new members were added and the
association now has an active mem-,
bership of 250 with as many auxili
ary members.
Among the old settlers who were
ptesent at the reunion were Geo.
Johnson, James Hart, Mrs. W. W.
Pinney. Louis, Nels and Oliver Lar
son, John Wicklund, P. H. Parsons,
A. H. Sperry, and Marcus, Peter
and George Johnson. Those who
passed away during the year were
John Iverson, of Harrison, the son
of Johannes Iverson, who was killed
by the Indians Aug. 21, 1862 E. T.
Woodcock, the first white settler of
Kandiyohi county, and whose
daughter was the first white child
born in the county Joseph H. Neer,
of New London Mrs. Abbie Harris
of Kandiyohi, the widow of John
Harris Mrs. Mary Haley of this
city, the widow of John Haley, and
A. F. Nordin, of this city, the late
judge of probate of the county.
The people* of New London de
serve a good deal of credit for the
splendid manner in which they en
tertained the visitors. The village
presented a festive appearance with
flags and pennants flying from poles
and wires everywhere. A rest room
was provided where anyone could
find a comfortable chair. At noon
the people of the village enter
tained about 600 people at dinner,
the work of serving being done by
the ladies of the Norwegian Luth
eran church, and lunch was served
later in the day. At the end of
the afternoon program a number of
races were pulled off, and they ad
ded much to the enjoyment of the
day.
The only disapointment of the
day was the fact that Governor Eb
erhart was not present, he being
unable to attend on account of the
death of C. C. Dinehart, the state
treasurer.
Willmar has been decided upon
as the place for the reunion next
year, an invitation being extended
from the Willmar Commercial Club.

The announcement of the coming
marriage of Miss Jessie Little of
Northfield and Dr. Scott of Wash
ington is of interest to Willmai
To the People of Willmar in Partic
ular and of Kandiyohi County in
General:
For years there has been much talk about getting factories
to locate at Willmar. Many efforts have been made, both to
encourage outside concerns to come he*e, and to start some
local enterprises. With very few exceptions, they have been
failures. Some three years ago the undersigned, prompted by
the same desires as others before him, laid plans for starting a
factory here spent much money in the Venture, and, bad cer
tain representations come true, would have pushed the venture
forward. Certain conditions arose, however, which, when
carefully considered, made it wise and in fact necessary to
to postpone, if not abandon, the project fentirely. But the de
sire to see a factory at Willmar did not die with the venture it
only slumbered. I had no idea, however, that the opportunity
would come as quickly and in the manner it did.
During the past six months, whilel I have been deeply en
grossed in other matters, I was of course aware of certain ne
gotiations by the Commercial Club to get the Zenith Company
to locate here. I had not paid enough attention to the matter,
however, to know whether the proposedarticles of manufacture
had any merit or not, so when approached with regard to tak
ing stock in the company for my interest in the west-end fac
tory, I refused to consider it until I had investigated.
people, for Miss Little was at one
time one of the instructors in our
high school.' The wedding is to
take place at Northfield, June 28,
and is to be a simple home affair.
F. E. Danielson was in St. Paul
yesterday testifying in a suit for
damages brought against the Great
Northern by E. H, Willard, who
was put off a freight train at Ray
ihohd June 30 last year because he
had neither a ticket nor a permit.
He asked $5,000 damages, but got
nothing as after hearing the evi
dence the judge instructed the jury
to return a verdict for the defend
ant.
On my return from Arizona in April, I took the matter up,
and a deal was made for part cash and| part stock. While it
looked good enough to me to be willing to take mostly stock in
the Zenith Co. for my interest in the factory, I did not at the
time really grasp the importance of the IPIayford cement stave.
Not until I went to Cassopolis, Michigan, the home of the in
ventor, and went with him into the country and saw the silos
and water tanks made from this stave did it dawn on me the
possibilities inherent in this simple devise. Silos, especially,
are something that farmers more and more realize the need of,
.. and if the matter is properly called to the attention of the peo
ple almost a universal demand can be created. And with the
tremendous advantage that the Playford cement stave silo has
over all other makes it will simply resolve itself into so arrang
ing the manufacturing of the sta,ve that it can be delivered to
the consumer with ast lititiefreignl"atWSSoV^ti^?COTC^^s-t
sible.
Having been relieved of active duties and responsibilities
that had heretofore taken my time, I at once commenced to
plan to use this particular stave as a foundation for the long
cherished factory at Willmar. I told x\tr. Playford that it look
so good to me that if given the deal I wanted, or somewhere
near it, I would put. all the energy that I would care to put in
to a business enterprise back of it and thus do my best to
bring it before the people. To make a long story short, the
result is The Amercan Manufacturing Corporation now in your
midst, controling the patent in all the United States:
Now, friends, and enemies if such there be, what are you
going to do about it? We have selected Willmar as the head
quarters for an enterprise that will mean long hours and much
hard work, not because we couldn't have selected some other
place equally as suitable or more so, but because Willmar and
Kandiyohi County is our home and having located the head
quarters of our enterprise in your midst, it is but natural that
we would like to have the support and good will of the commu
nity to the upbuilding of which we shall give our best energies.
This good will can of course best be shown by giving the enter
prise financial support, especially now in the beginning. Af
ter our product becomes known I anticipate no trouble in en
listing what capital we shall need. Let me say right here,
however, no matter whether we get the home support or not,
we are here to stay, and while the lack of this support will nat
urally cause delay it cannot and will not alter our plans.
THE AMERICAN MANUFACTURING CORPORATION
was organized under the laws of Arizona with a capital of
$1,000,000, $800,000 of which is common stock and $200,000
6 per cent preferred. The par value of the shares are $10.00.
60,850 shares of common, 1000 shares of preferred and $1000
gave the corporation ownership of its Willmar factory and the
control of the Playford Cement Stave patent on a favorable
royalty basis, as well as the services of the officers without
any pay for at least this year.
How long it will be before returns can be paid on the common
stock will naturally depend on how quickly we can develope
the business. As to the preferred, I feel that dividends are
certain from the beginning.
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY NEEDED.
While the Corporation shall not immediately need more than
about $10,000, before the end of the season we expect to need
upwards of $25,000, and that amount of preferred stock will
be sold. With each share of preferred one-half a share of
common will be given as a bonus. Not less than two shares
preferred will be sold to any one person.
$10,000 means 100 people with $100 each, or 20 people with
$500 each. Are you people in Willmar and Kandiyohi County
interested enough in this enterprise and have you enough con
fidence in our ability to make this enterprise a success to
invest that amount with us? If so, the sooner you do so, the
sooner and faster our plans will be pushed.
Anyone who desires to come with us on above conditions, we
will be glad to have, and to such we can only say we will do
our best to make your investment valuable and. the enterprise
a benefit to the community in general. Money may be remit
ted direct to the Corporation at Willmar, or to Lewis Johnson,
who will be made treasurer as soon as the number of Direc
tors are increased to five, or can be left with any bank in the
County, and certificates will be forwarded to them for collec
tion.
Assuring you that a sincere and determined effort will be
made to make
THE AMERICAN MANUFACTURING CORPORATION
an institution that Willmar and Kandiyohi County will be
pleased with, and trusting that we may have your co-operation,
in the effort, I am
Sincerely yours,
^&^^>o
President and General Manager,

of the table which was decorated
with ropes of smilax.

some animal. Prizes were awarded
for the best results in this contest

words. It was an occasion of much
happiness for all present. Rev. and
