For twenty-eight years we have gone on
the principle that to command success you
must deserve it, and the fact that our bust
ness has shown a steady increase each
year is the best evidence that our success
has been deserved. Points in our favor are
a Good Reputation, Good Past, Good Pre-
sent a Good Future. Add to these the
fact that we have yards at Morris, Chokio,
Cyrus, Alberta, Johnson, Donnelly, Grace
vile, Dumont and Wheaton, with com
plete stock of lumber and building material
at every point. This should make it plain
that we are in a position to handle your
