Telephone company and the Erie State
Telephone company both have their
headquarters here for the Northwest,
and they have connections with every
Independent telephone company in the
state. The Western Union Telegraph
company has connections with almost
every town in North Dakota, and this
fact gives the merchants of Grand
Forks many rush orders which might
otherwise go elsewhere.

Grand Forks is the county seat of
Grand Forks, and the officials of the
county have their offices here. A fine
court house and jail situated on a
fine site in tn esouth part Of the city,
are among the many public buildings.

brings many people here each day,
and the natural result is an increase
in the business of the merchants.
