Small grain seeding in Redwood
county was about finished for this
year last Saturday. Of course,
here and there an unseeded tract
might be found, but these tracts
were generally in low places where
the seeder will be unable to enter
until the moisture is absorbed. A
goodly number of tracts are being
reserved this year for corn, flax,
ETC., on account of the lateness of
the season.
Work on the foundation of the
building of the Improvement Co.
was commenced last Thursday morn
ing. The brick for the superstruc-
ture has been shipped in from
New Ulm, owing to the Springfield
yards, owned bv A. G. Ochs, con-
tractor on the building, not having
enough brick to fill present orders.
The brick were contracted for of
the Morton Brick & Tile Co., and
this company ordered them shipped
from their branch yard at New
Ulm.
The Lamberton Star says that
company has been formed in our
city for the purpose of manufatur-
ing and selling ratchet cylinder
wrench. The co-partnership as
formed consists of Frank Clague, C.
A. Anderson, E. T. Eastenson and
C. H. Works. The officers of the
company are, Frank Clague, Presi-
dent; E. T. Eastenson, manager and
G. H. Anderson, secretary and treas
urer. The wrench was patented
March 22d, 1898, by farmer near
Storden, Cotton wood county.
W. P. Huntington has commenced
an action in summons and lis pen
dens, through his attorney, J. H.
Bowers, against the Scottish Union
& National Insurance Co., and the
trustees of the same, to determine
the title to the lot located on the
southwest corner of Mill and Sec
ond streets, on which a portion of
the ruins of partially burned
building now stands. It appears
that the United States Saving &
Loan Co. held a mortgage on the
tract prior to the fire, and that the
insurance was carried in the above
insurance company. When the
building burned the insurance paid
for the mortgage, and for some
reason the Savings and Loan Co.
transferred the property, on fore
closure deed, to the insurance COM
pany.
An idea of quick returns from
advertising can be obtained from
the experience of the American Bis
cult Co. in advertising the Uneeda
Biscuit, an adv. now running in
this paper. Early last fall the COM
pany appropriated 100000 for adj
vertising. The first advertisements
covered Chicago and the Northwest.
