Paste this in your hat! No
where under the broad e;lnopv OF
Ward county's starlitheavens, is
there q finer opening for q bank
than at 'rasker. We have two or
three we'll paying banks at pres
ent, but they are coal banks.
There is nothing slow about
Tasker, and the next thing in
order will be q chamber OF com
mcrce.
The lumor that that wide
awake merchant prince OF Bur
lington, Mr.. c. A. Bugge, had
Joined the ''grand army of bene-
diets has proved untrue. We
will not vouch for it, but It's said
that Merchant Bugge believes
that il there were only three
women on earth. two OF them
would 'shikev OFF into q corner
and talk about the third. Tbs
sad, hut ''tisstrue. 1.
While the er-llustling citizens
Of Taaker are always ready to
put tlleir,shoulders to the wheel
and help every interest along
calculated to further the upbuild-
ing of the town, vet, We gods, we
understand that a few Of our
most aristocratic nabobs have
have determined to. refuse Andrew
Carnegie's afipr Of q public IL
.,.,., Romans, and fellowciti-
zens imbued with this idea are
requested to pitch their tents
outside the walls Of progressive
Tasker, where they can read their
Police Gazette's in the cleaning.
It is ALWAYS gratifying to the
"pencil pusher' of the Independ-
ent here at Tasker to notice, in
this age ofimprovement and era
Of progress, thatis sweeping over
this part OF Queenly North Da-
kota, the fact that the business
men ofTaskerare always abreast
OF the times. 1t may be said that
in all cities there are certain
houses that are regarded as
leaders and whose influence in all
departments OF trade is such as
to command the respect and ad-
miration OF theircontemporaries.
In this connection may be men
toned with regard to Tasker,
the we'll known and popular
Vandewarker Store. the pioneer
institution OF this place. Under
the able management Of Mr.. L.
3. Soule it llas built up a wide
trade, which increases daily in
volume. The secret OF Mr.. Soule's
success is due to his honorable
and upright business methods
with every class OF citizens and
the desire to give patrons the
very best goods for the least
money. He is an enterprising
public spirited business man and
Identifies himself in every event
calculated to future the interests
of this ''the brawniest town Gifts
size in North Dakota.
We have it on the best OF au-
thority that a sunny eyed flair
divinity entered Scribner's
butcher shop the other day and
exclaimed:
Take back the heart tho gavest,
The angry Maiden cried.
And Serb, he gave her liver,
And the Maid was satisfied.
Thus they all 60 away pleased
for Serb makes it a point to
please any and everybody in the
meat line.
Write this on the tablets of
your memory! There is a fine
opening for a drug store at Tas-
ker. There are millions in it.
Ii Tasker holds an election next
spring in order to assume, what
she will soon have, city proper
tons, we would suggest that the
sporty and genial Chas. Fitz-
simmons be made mayor. He is
the right kind OF timber. being a
good talker, a wide-awake push
er, and altogether a good fellow,
essential that will help to push
the town to the front.
Billy Verzatt, who ranks among
the number Of old time miners III
Ward county. is now among the
most capable Of the Vandewarker
"diggers". Billy has a fine claim
west OF here that is a bonanza in
itself, and as he is an all round
energetic North Dakotan, he is
deserving OF every success.
