BLUE EARTH COUNTY HISTORICAL
SOCIETY.

The first meeting for the pur-
pose of forming a historical society
was held Oct 10, 1901, but the final

time They meet once month at the

all who are interested in the work.
The main object of this society is to
collect and preserve all data pertain
ing to the history of this section of
the state. While they have not collect
ed a great deal of information as yet,
they have some valuable records, etc. /,
in their possession. Their efforts have
been mainly spent in preparing for
the semi centennial celebration and
they have spared no effort to make il
in every way success.
The officers of the society are as
follows: President, Hon. DAME

OLE nONSON.

To the general public it is not neces-
sary for an introduction of this hon
orable and reliable gentleman, who
conducts one of the popular tailoring
establishments in this city at 2O6 S.
Front st. But for those who might
not be so lucky as to know of such a
gentleman and his business and who
might need something in his line, and
who seek for a place where they could
get what they want in the latest
styles and with prompt execution, at
a reasona BILE price, we cheerfully
recommend o. Monson. This gentle
man was born in Sweden in 1S46. At
the age of twenty-six he came to
America, landing at New Orleans.
His intentions were of course to settle
in the west, where the country was
new and work himself into business.
He travelled up the Mississippi river
as far as st. Paul. After residing
there several months he came to Man
kato in 1878 Concluding to make his
future residence here he bought a
home one year later. During his
early career in this city he was with
Mr.. McHenry and others, working at
his trade and as cutter with Iverson
& Einstein.
In 1884 Mr.. Monson established him
self in business in the building now
occupied by G. D. Benack. He con-
Quoted his business in these quarters
for period of about ten years, dur
ing which time he sold his house and
built a fine residence which he now
occupies. He retired from the tailor
ing buiness for about three years,
but later, in 1897, re-opened mer
chant tailoring establishment at hi
present place where he has enjoyed
a good substantial trade. Being 1
gentleman in every sense of the word
he has won great favor among hi
fellow citizens.

berger & Mobiles. They manufacture
all kinds of high and low priced can
dies, and their specially of chocolate
creams and bonbons has achieved
wide fame for purity and excellence.
Their factory occupies commodious
quarters on Second street, with floor
space of II, 424 square feet. Thirty
two persons are employed in the man
ufacturing department and FIVE sales
men at stated times visit the trade,
which extends over southern Mime
sofa, South Dakota and northern Iowa.
They were compelled to Work day
and night to meet the demands of
their holiday trade. With fresh goods
at fair prices prompt attention to fill
ing orders and honest treatment to all,
this firm is leader in the candy bust
ness. Mr. Rosenberger, who has had
twenty five years experience in candy
making, is in charge of the manutac-
turing department and MIR. Currier
attends to the business affairs of the
firm. They also handle nuts of all
kinds. besides cigars of all grades.

MRS. II. DITTMAN.

This well known millinery establish
ment was one of the first of its kind
in Mankato and has been doing bust
ness here for the last 80 years. 1t was
one of the few stores that went ahead
during the grasshopper time of II.
Mrs. Dittman has established the repu-
tation of being far ahead of her class
in the art of millinery. In fact she
has few equals. She has been located
in her commodious quarters in the
Saulpaugh block for the last eight
years and during the busy season ha
force of twelve girls constantly en-
ployed. She pays her head trimmer
more than any other millinery store in
the state and employs the most exper
help that money can procure. Mrs.
Dittman's ability as milliner is be
yond question, as hundreds of her wei
pleased patrons will testify. Call ant
examine the largest and most up-to
date line of millinery goods in thi
part of the country.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.

In 1866 the Msnkato Library associ-
alton incorporated under special act
of territorial legislature with j.. A.
Wiswell president and S. F. Barney,
secretary.
The organization survived several
years, being supported mainly by an
nual dues An occasional entertain
mert added to the fund.
The largest benefit was derived from
an excursion to Window soon after the
establishment of railroad in this
community. Passenger cars were
scarce, but enthusiasm was abundant,
people took passage on fiat cars
The library increased to several
hundred volumes. The books were
moved from Office to Office. Mrs. j..
C. Curryer had them for time, but
they were finally placed in charge OF
the Y. M. G. A. The Y. M. G. A.
library was composed largely of fc'
ton. Books could be exchanged twice
week and were considered luxury.
J. q. Chapman had circulating
library in his book store, but there
was no free library until some of thu
members of the Social Science clul
presented petition to the council O.
the city of Mankato for a public
library The same was established
April Z, 1894. and board of nine di
rectors appointed by the mayor.
Two thousand dollars was designat
ed as the annual appropriation. Earl.

These walks are constructed in two
ways, either of which produces a
handsome piece of work During the
winter at their place of business at
the corner of West Third and Sibley
streets, they manufacture blocks of
cement. These blocks are laid as de-
sired, alternately dark and light or
entirely of one shade, and the effect is
all that could be desired.
While many walks are laid in this
manner others are manufactured in
the process of laying them. The
cement is laid while in flexible state
and allowed to harden after it is laid.
This is especially desirable where the
walk is constructed on curved street,
and driveways, steps and horse blocks
are made in this manner. In building
the walk thus it can be given a
smooth or rough finish as desired.
The members of this firm are Nels
A. johnson and John Asplund. 1t
was organized five years ago and has
done a very large business during
that time. About thirty men are en-
ployed by them.
They have the contract for the COM
bined curb and gutter on Broad street
in this city. There is about. 10, 900
feet in this piece of work and is a
credit to the company. They also have
the contract to lay 6,4OO feet of COM
bined curb and gutter at Marshall
town, Iowa, which street is to be paw
ed with asphalt. Besides these con-
tracts they have large amount of
work in Winnebago City, GAINESVILLE
and other places, all of which is being
done in a creditable manner. The
firm expects to open offices in the
center of the city shortly.
Mr.. johnson was born in the north
ern part of Sweden in 1876, where he
resided until he came to Mankato in
1898, where he has since resided, now
making his home on Sibley street in
West Mankato. He has worked at
various things, among others being
farming and log driving, the former
both in Sweden and this country. He
is a young man who has all the quail
ties necessary to succeed in business.
Mr.. Asplund is also a native of
Sweden, coming to Mankato seven
years ago, and he makes his home on
Prospect Heights. He is not lacking
in the energy and push which make a
successful business man.
The Mankato Sidewalk Co. is here
to stay. They are doing good bust
ness and it is rapidly increasing. They
are anxious to please their patrons, as
they know that pleased customer is a
good advertisement. Their work is to
be seen on the streets of our city
and speaks more plainly than any
words of ours can possibly do.
