Prosperity rs Here.

Anyone VINO doubts it can be con-
vinced by visiting any one OF the
towns In western Iowa or Minnesota
on the new lines of the Chicago n
North Western railway.
People In the immediate vicinity Of
these towns are quick to see the adj
vantage and are already IN advance OF
the railroad, building stores, resi-
dences, elevators, lumber Offices. etc.
but there is room for more. The
country is splendid and will In all
cases amply support all lines OF BUSH
ness and trade. and in the most OF the
towns the best locations are still open.
Lots In any OF these towns cannot
help but be safe and paying invest
ments, as they are still on the market
at the original low prices.

Last Saturday Druggist Binford
moved into his new quarters at the
corner of Main and Williams street.
1t was with pleasure that REGISTER
reporter viewed his palatial establish-
ment, this week, although everything
Is yet In q somewhat chaotic state.
Mr.. Binford is In hopes, however, OF
having things pretty thoroughly To-
Gated by the end of the week.
The enterprising proprietor Of this
new pharmacy can easily boast Of hav-
ing as fine place to do business in as
there is 10 South Dakota and it may
we'll be the pride Of its owner, as it is
certainly credit and an ornament to
the city in which it is located.
Mr.. Binford has spared no expense
to make 1t convenient as well as an
ornament, and brief description may
not be out of place at this time. 1t
will at least interest that portion of
the REGISTERS readers who will not
have An opportunity OF seeing it for
themselves.
The main room Is 25x6S feet. To
the rear OF which Is another room
25xl3 that will be used for glass,
paints and other goods Of its class.
Beneath is a basement for the store
age Of oils and goods In bulk.
Both rooms referred to above have
ornamental steel ceiling and are large,
airy, and we'll lighted. The main en-
trance to the store Is at the corner Of
the building although there is another
entranceV Vto the rear on Williams
street.
The room is lined with solid oak
shelving finished In oil, corniced and
ornamentsd here and there by small
French plate mirrors. On the north
side is the book department andspat-
ent medicines, everything under glass
doors. These doors are weighted and
slide easily up and dove.
On the south side is the drug de-
partment. Mr.. Blnford has purch ased
an entire new set Of congress square
shelf bottles that will make this de-
partment look very fine when ar
ranged. At the end of this shelving
and near the entrance 10 a handsome
wall perfume case. On the opposite
side Of the room and next to the large
plate glass front will be found a
French plate pier-glass 35x65. Ad-
joining this is a handsome wall case
for the reception of sllverware.
There are seven handsome floor
cases with heavy plate tops which an
swer the purposes of counters. One
Of these cases is curved corner case
and Is very fine indeed. There are
several other oak counters and one
combined sponge case and counter.
But the crowning feature OF all the
fixtures and the one in which Drug
gist Binford delights, is the prescript-
ion case. 1t is one of the most COM
plete manufactured and must be seen
to be appreciated. Like the rest of
the wood work, the front is of oak,
corniced, panelled, carved aud pol
ishsd. 1t is embellished with seven
French plate mirrors and some orna-
mental bronze work, while on the
north side, the upper half of the case
is composed Of Clipped glass panels.
The case Is ten feet high and encloses
a floor space Of 1Ox12. The inside Of
this case is lined with shelving for
drugs, drawers, lock boxes and many
other conveniencss dear to the heart
Of pharmacist.
The shelving, counters and cases
were all made to order and fit the
