City and Country Make Biz
Records During the
Past Year.
Redwood Falls Touches the
Record OF anu Pre-
ViOuS Year.

has been one of the best in the his
tory of Redwood Falls and Redwood
county, so fur as building is COP
cerned. This is particularly true
of the country, according to the re-
ports of the Laird-Norton Co., and
the Winona Lumber Co. S yards of
this city, the books of which con-
Germs show a tremendous building
record for that region. Houses,
barns and granaries, and many
other kinds of outbuildings have
been erected to fill the demand, and
nearly all of them were of the very
best material and kind.
In the city the building record is
a bright one, too, and one can hard
ly look down the list of business
blocks. residences and other i'm
.provements erected during the
year, without enjoying feeling of
satisfaction that Redwood Falls is
enjoying a rapid stride forward.
The Redwood Falls Improvement
Co. building, the Houghmaster
building, the placing of the steam
heating plant in the Commercial by
E. A. Mason, the extensive improve
ments carried on by A. c. Bur-
meister in enlarging his mill AM
erecting an elevator, all without
any financial encouragement from
the local business men. are the best
signs of a steady growth and firm
faith in the future of the city. In
the residence line those of George
Houghmaster, Lawrence King and
J. A. Schmahl are probably in the
lead, while the building of a resi-
dence and repairing of second by
Lydia B. Warner are among the
best evidences. The superb cold
storage house now in course of con-
struction by Melges & Co. is an
other valuable addition to the build
ing and business interests of the
city, The record, so far as it can
be obtained at the present time, is
