Of the many goods handled, blu
enough has been named to indicat,
the fact that none but the best ant
most popular goods made are carried
in stock. Mr.. Humiston moi only
leads in the machinery trade o.
Worthington, but OF Southwestern
Minnesota as we'll, and this i'm
mense business MOI only speaks well
for the business tact and ability oil
Mr.. H., but also establishes the fact
that Worthington is one Of the best
business points in Southern Mime
sofa, and no man is doing more &C
maintain suc'; a reputation. for this
city than J. d. Humiston. -
SWEDISH MERCANTILE co.
Among the various prominent i'll
terests in Wortbington's business
circles, is one among the most i'm.
portant. This company was organ
lied in 1886, and as its name implies
is engaged in the mercantile bust
ness, conducting a large, we'll stocked
general store, as well as an extern
sive grain business. They are doing
business upon a paid up capital Of
$4,000, with the management vested
as follows: president, o. G. Grund-
stem; secretary and manager, Gust.
Swanberg. They are the owners OF
4 large and we'll equipped grain ele-
vator, which is under the supervision
of Mr.. Grunds.en, while Mr.. Swan
berg looks after the interests o. the
store. This company has enjoyed a
steady increase in business matters
from the start, and the fact thai
they have large surplus capital,
representing the earnings Of the bus
mess, speaks we'll for The manage
ment. The stock embraces dry
goods, clothing, groceries, boots,
shoes, hats, caps, furnishing goods,
and nearly everything in fact re-
quired by ordinary humanity to eat,
drink or wear. One chief object in
the Inauguration of this establish
ment was to give the patrons the
benefit Of the lowest prices consist
emf with safety in business transac.
tions, and this object has been so
we'll attained as to give to the house
the reputation Of selling goods at
very low prices. Their grain trade
offers to patrons and others oppor.
tunity to secure the highest market
price for the products Of the farm
and the assurance of full weight and
correct grades. They have feed
mill connected With their elevator
and are prepared 10 furnish all kinds
of ground feed. They are doing
business in the interest of the public
as we'll as their own, and no house
in Mobiles county can or will do BET
ter by patrons.
H. G. SHEPARD,
a dealer in farm machinery, is a pic
neer in his line: having been engaged
in the business here for the past Il
years: yhe machinery trade of thu
northwest has during the past decade
assumed mammoth proportions, and
this town undoubtedly distributes al
great a value in farm machinery
each year as any town of the same
size in Southern Minnesota, and few
if any, in Mobiles or neighborine
counties, have been more promi
nently identified with the implemen,
trade Of this section than H. c.
h,pard. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that any man who has for four
teen years pursued certain line OF
business in a country, the resources
of which have been constantly and
rapidly undergoing development
has been measurably successful; and
the supposition in the case of Mr.
Shepard is fully verified by the facts
The main elements necessary to sue
cess in any line Of business are, a
thorough knowledge of the bushes,
represented, wide acquaintance
with the public, the confidence Of
the people, and stock of goods t
meet every public requirement
These elements are possessed by Mr.
Shepard in an eminent degree: A.
evidence of the above facts we vii
name few of the leading articles Of
stock: the Minnesota Chief anc
Aultman & Taylor threshers and
traction engines, the Champion ano
Osborne binders and mowers, thu
Standard mowers, besides large
line of wagons, carriages, buggies
cutters, sleighs, bob sleds, etc. Th,
stock, however, embraces everything
required in the prosecution of farm
ing pursuits. Mr.. S. is the occapan
Of an extensive ware room or store
always we'll filled with machiner,
that has withstood the tests of years
and can offer opportunities end ad

every respect to any dealer in South
