The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1906-08-02
Glenburn.

An Independent representative made
visit to Glenburn the other day day
and was agreeably surprised to find as
nice, clean and busy little town as
ever laid out of doors. The Importance
of Glenburn as a market can be partly
judged by the fact that she has already
five grain elevators and sixth building.
She has within her borders a splendid
lot of stores and other business build
ings presided over by pleasant straight
forward men of affairs, and among
others whom our scribe met were
w. G. SPENCER
Who has recently taken possession Of
the Golden West" hotel which is nicely
fitted up for the convenience of travel
ers and is always taxed to its utmost ca
pacity. Mr.. Spencer contemplates
building an addition to his hotel in the
near future.
ROLES & ScaARFE
Are another new firm who have lately
arrived from Minnesota. They have
put in complete line of harness and ex-
pect to stay by the town, having pur-
chased choice business lot and erected
their own building. Mr.. Scharfe is
practical harness maker and they will
pay special attention to hand made
goods.

sale stable formerly owned by John
Ross. Mr.. Hangs is veteran of thu
loop, having for II years been engaged
in farming and stock raising. over on
Mouse River, where he still owns val
liable farm.
p. E. MYERS
Has tirst-class paying boarding house

pot. They set good table at Meyers,
which bears evidence of good cook,
and keep a nice, clean house. They are
enjoying Justly deserved prosperity.

ANDREW ANDERSON
Moved with his family about July LIST
from Minot to Glenburn where he has
charge of the Western Implement Co.'S
branch at that place. He has already
sold six threshing rigs this season and
says the end is not yet. Mr.. Anderson
is hustler, sure, and thinks Glenburn
is going to be the only pebble on the
beach.
w. NJ. RILEY
is another of the many late acquisi
tions to this community, having leased
a building and opened for business the
City Restaurant in one of the best loca-
tons on Main street. Their business
has so far proved very satisfactory.
They keep nice, clean place, and we
predict full measure of success for the
enterprising Riley.s.
GEO. A. WALTER
Glenburn has, in the above named
gentleman, rare combination Of me-
chanical ingenuity and business enter
prise. He has probably the largest and
most completely equipped blacksmith
shop in the northwest. His shop is 25x
80 feet and is furnished with three fine
trip hammers, a thread cutting ma
chine constructed by Mr.. Walter him
self: boring machines, band saw, pat
ent device for managing refractory
horses, waterworks fans, blowers, and a
number of other appliances and all run
by large gasoline engine with dyna-
mo sparker attached. Even Mrs.
Walters wash machine and wringer is
run by power, thus happily combining
domestic bliss with practical business
ideas. He also owns the largest and
most complete tool chest that the writer
ever saw, containing every conceivable
kind Of small tools. Mr.. Walter expects
before long to add machine shop to
his already extensive business and is a
gentleman who will sooner or later
make his influence felt even beyond his
own community.
