Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1902-11-14

during his recent canvass for the office
of clerk Of district court. He found
that that lively little town was as
much OF a center for Emmons county
people us any place within the borders
of this county.
Pollock has hada wonderful growth,
1t is just about year old. 1t has
about 250 people. has several stores,
and all of them carry big stocks Of
goods. The largest stock is kept and
biggest business done by Frank Luutz-
enhiser, a former EmmonS county boy
who once ran a peddler wagon, and who
started a store because some of the
merchants wanted to make him pay
licenSe-a license being required for q
store on wheels, while q stationary
emporium is not required to contrib
ute funds to the public excheQuer.
Frank was formerly located at Dale.
When Pollock was established, Mr.. l..
was among the first to 60 there. Many
wise ,Onesreyen the many who wished
the young merchant well-~shook their
heads when they saw the way in which
he was launching out. But he has con-
tinued adding to his stock, and Is do
ing an immense business.
Another firm is that of Horton &
Deyan, the former being our own JO-
seph, the wel1-knoWn n banker and polit-
ical expert of Linton, Although from
the street the building in which this
store is situated looks somewhat mar
row, one who enters is surprised at the
large and Well-selected stock which is
carried, the building making up in
depth for what 1t lacks in breadth
Everything is neat and clean, and the
goods arc arranged in apple-pte order.
A bright and intelligent ,Emmons
county boy Charlie Renskers- has a
position of responsibility at this store.
Another fine store, with q big stock,
is that Of E.s j.. lverson, who recently
came In from Oakes. Mr.. Iyerson also
has a very neat store, and is doing q
good business.
IS Weinstein Bros. are another firm,
located in their own stone building,
and carrying good stock Of clothing,
groceries, etc.
The Weinstein and other buildings
were erected by Mr. Glover, an expert
in stOne-dressing. He is an enthusi-
asst in the matter OF the desirability
of the native sandstone for use In
building, and it might be well for En-.
mons county people who contemplate
building to communicate with him.
One Of the features of the town is
tbs store of the Pollock Drug Co. The
partners in this firm are DR.. ShUckey,
Swell-knoWn to all the people Of the
south halt Of EmmOns county, and
formerly a popular and respected resi-.
dent of Linton; Billy Elgar, an EN-
mons county btOckman, and John
Mag, a thoroughly competent regis
tered pharmacist. This store is sIne
of the neatest on the Missouri Slope.
The building has been erected with
special regard to the purpose for which
tits used, and the furnishings are first
class in every particular. DR.: Shockey
and his partners cordially invite EN-
mons county people to visit them
when they go to Pollock. The firm
has an ad in this weeks issue OF the
Record and the Anzeiger. 7.
"Virg." Parr, another gentleman
well known to Emmons county people,
buys grain at the Reagen & Hooper
elevator. MIR. Parr says that SO far
this season about Is per cent Of the
wheat purchased has come from EN-
mons county, and the business men say
that the. Larger proportion Of the trade
Of the town comes from this county.
