as among the prominent stock men of
that section. These gentlelnea have
come to Hurley to stay and have in
vested their money here, in an enter
prise that will contribute largely to the
growth and prosperity of the town. and
the Herald wishes them the success in
the future that their efforts Justly
merit.
THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF Joseph Allen should be accorded a
| prominent place in this review, mas
much as it is one of the first and fore
most in public esteem, as well as in
matters of trade There are certain
leading features in the business inter
ests OF ali communities, and certain
elements that lead to success, and 1t is
no reflection upon the various consider
able establishments of this place when
we say that the house in question en-
bodies all the elements essential to sue
cess, and the wants and requirements
OF the general public. Mr.. Allen first
commenced business in Turner county
by locating in Swan Lakein April 1877.
and moved his business here in April
1883. He was formerly postmaster at
Swan Lake, and holds the same posi-
ton in Hurley. The postoflice business
OF Hurley will assume more than ordi-
nary Importance. The town will en-
JOY the advantages of three daily mails
and three tr-weekly. The Hurley post
office when completed will be one of
the best arranged and dmost extensively
furnished in Turner county. Mr.. Allen
is at present county surveyor, justice of
the peace and notary pnblic, and has
for several years been prominently
identified with public, as well as pri-
| vate business interests. He is the rail
way company's
TOWNSHIP AGENT
here, to whom letters for informaes
| tion should be addressed. Mr.. Allen
is the owner of much valuable property
in Hurley. Peter Allen is secretary and
general manager, and j. T. Robinson
salesman of this extensive business, and
to their energy and ability the success
of the past is greatly due. They inaug-
urated the first general store in the
| place. and are about to move into u
commodious new store building where
stock and facilities will be greatly en-
larged and enhanced. This building is
Il substantial structure, with public
hall above and occupies one of the most
desirable localities in the place. They
carry stock of goods consisting of
dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes,
hats and caps, groceries, farm machin-
cry, buggles, carriages, &c. They are
the sole agents here for the celebrated
Abbott buggies, and other trst-class
vehicles. In farm machinery they carry
everything required in the prosecu-
ton of farming pursuits, and therst
is made up of the most reliable goods
made. Briefly, no similar concern of
the larger cities Of the country can offer
better opportunities to purchasers, and
none have done more, or will do more
to aid in the advancement of town and
surrounding country.
HARDWARE, STOVES, WAGONS, &C.
This department of the buiness inter
ests of Hurley is unusually well repre-
scnted, and as a popular feature in the
above line we are pleased to refer to the
well stocked establishment of Vinton g.
Lovin. This firm was organized and
commenced business here June 1st, and
notwithstanding their comparatively
short career, are in the enjoyment of Il
good trade and one constantly increas-
! ing. They are the occupants of n store
20x4O, every inch of which is occupied,
and presenting an appearance both as
regards stock and fixtures, that might
well be envied by many older and
larger establishments. In the rear of
the store is a wagon and machinery
shed eighty feet in length, which is
fully occupied, making most credita-
bic showing. They make a speciality of
such goods as the Cedar Rapids Star
wagons, but handle buggies, spring
wagons, sc. In hardware they handle
heavy goods of all kinds such rs black
smith and wagon makers supplies,
shelf hardware, tools, cutlery, cook and
/ heating stoves in a great variety, tin,
and sheet iron ware, sc. They will al
so do all kinds of tin work. The above
firm is composed of two young men,
the former having previously been en-
ployed in the capacity Vi book-kccper at
Ft Randall and the latter in the post
office at Yankton. Both are exper-
enced business men, a fact clearly indi-
Gated upon every feature of their hand
some establishment. No housein Tur-
ner county is better facilitated for do
ing business and none can or will do
better by their customers.
ROWLAND REEs
is the pioneer hardware merchant of
Hurley, and in fact the pioneer business
man to whom the town largely owes
its existence. Mr.. Rees was the origi-
nal owner of Il part of the town site,

railroad company Hurley would in all
probability have been locAed elsewhere.
Mr.. r. came to this locality six years
ago, and settled as Il homesteader, on
ground now occupied by the town.
Early last spring he embarked in the
lumber trade, and soon after put in a
small stock of hardware. his lumber

present store being the first building
