keavin Returns From the East.

John j. Keavin, of the Keavins de-
partment store, has returned from the
large comercial centers Of the east
where he went principally to buy the
spring and summer stock for the big
stores He took time to look around
however and investigated the condi-
lions in the east, and the word which
he brings back to Minot makes us feel
exceedingly bright over the future
prospects of a rushing summers bust
ness. Everything is on the move
again in the east. Factories and mills
which closed down during the sup
pressed times, are again running full
blast and can hardly keep up with
their orders. Mr.. Keavin like other
large buyers, went east intending to
buy much more lightly than usual,
but he soon changed his mind, and in
reality he bought more heavily than
he ever did before.
In conversation with an Independent
reporter, he said, "You will see plen-
ty of money floating around Minot
within short time. Why the mint
at Philadelphia is working is hours a
day turning out $93,O0O,O00 in gold,
while the washington mint is Work
ing a double shift. There's plenty Of
money in the east and let me tell you
that the people are only too anxious
to loan it on farm lands. They want
no more stock investments for a
time. 1 predict that within three
months, we will see the cheapest mon
ey in North Dakota that we have ever
SEEN There will be plenty of money
for all, where reasonable security can
be given.

Great Northern official, and he told

look like hard times?
Mr.. Keavins' goods will soon begin
to arrive and then there will be
something doing.
