installed this week at the following
places of business in this city: The
'hree banks-First National, Bank of
Willmar and Kandiyohi Co. Bank,
D. Elmquist's jewelry establishment,

A slip of paper inside of the clock
will show at what time and how many
times the watchman calls during the
night. The work of soliciting for
the convenient time-pieces was done

The addition of these contrivances
will give the business men more
confident feeling that their places are
