The Marshall on Co, the largest in !
dependent oil company doing bust |
ness in the western states, with head |
quarters at Marshalltown Ia, and re-
fnery connections at Oil City, Titus
vile, Warren, Emlenton and Pitts
burg, Pa, has secured a site on the
Milwaukee tracks at Fargo, and will
commence work on the erection of a |
first class plant consisting of six large
| storage tanks, warehouse $50 feet
long, cooper shop, wagon sheds, boil
err room and office building, and will
probably be in shape to do business
about September /. By securing this
company for Fargo the people of
North Dakota will be able to get the
highest grade of oil made in the
world. They handle nothing but
Pennsylvania oils which are conceded
to be the best on the market.
The Farmers Mill & Elevator Co. of
Great, Bend, N. D., was organized last
year and commenced to purchase
grain the 25th of August, 1905; they
closed the first business year April 80,
1906, about eight months after in
order to close up all matters and
make necessary reports at their annu-
al meeting whichh will be in June.
During this period they purchased
and sold more than 10000 bushels of
grain and made a net profit of 70 per
cent on their investment; the stock
holders who are principally farmers,
will retain as profit on their invest
ment 20 per cent and the remainder
will be equally divided with all
customers of their elevator, according
to the number of bushels delivered re-
CARELESS of their being shareholders.
This method will enable all grain
growers who delivered grain to this
company to receive 2 cents more than
market price for their product. All
are satisfied and know they have
been fairly treated, whether share
holders or not, and feel assured the
producer comes nearer getting an
honest and square deal in this man
ner than any ether yet tried
