E. H. HALL

In the livery realm, E. H. Hall
cuts pretty wide swath at Beach.
If you want to take your Duxy Ann
for a ride, he's the chap that can
fix you out. The barn was built
in 1906 by Christ Fable who was
among those that came to Beach in
that year. In the spring Of 1906 he
sold out to 1. S. Bispham and E. H.
Hall and the barn was run for
about a year under the firm name
of Bispham & Hall. During the
fore part of last year. 1907, Mr..
Hall purchased the interest Of his
partner and since that time has
operated the barn alone. The or
iginal structure has been added to
until it is now about three times
the size of the first building. Mr..
Hall was formerly in the ranch bus
mess and consequently understands
the care and handling of horses.
and runs first class livery and
feed stable. We understand he
intends adding an auto livery in
the spring. Mr.. Hall always has
a good word for Beach.

BEACH ADVANCE

In politics men have never
agreed-and never will. There
will always be men on both sides
of the political fence. In Beach
there is no exception. When the
primary election. which is new
thing in this state, came on last
spring, there were men on both
sides of the fence and another
newspaper was wanted so that both
sides could be represented. AS a
result the Beach Advance was es-
tablished. A number of our bus
mess men were back of the enter.
prise and an excellent plant was
purchased and C. l. Cook. a form
er South Dakota man from Center
Vile. put in charge. The first issue
was published in May and since
that time Mr.. Cook has gotten out
creditable sheet Of eight pages
-four pages home print. If COM

the N. P. E. E. Noble had charge
of the yard until August, 1907,
when w. C. Schultz took charge
and later E. E. Salzman' became the
local agent. The company has done
an enormous business, in fact, sold
more lumber at this point than
any of the other yards along the
line, and have kept two and three
men in the yard the year around.
Chas. Harkins. their bookkeeper,
came here in April, 1907. Both he

spring of 1906, and on July 9th of
that year opened for business. The
members of the firm are Geo.
Campbell and Chas. G. Lyons. The
former is an old time North Da-
kotan, having been in business in
different parts of the state, but
more recently of Steele. He b.
lieves that at last he has found the
only real live town of its size in
the good old state and is always on
the side that is trying to make the
town better, but that isn't saying
much in Beach, for our people are
all boosters, when it comes to do
ing anything for the towns good.
Mr.. Campbell has moved his fami-
ly here and intends to stay. Mr..
Lyons, who has charge Of the drug
and prescription department, is a
pharmacist of exceptional training
and experience. He is a gradu-
ate of the College of Pharmacy of
the University of Minnesota, hav-
ing received the degree of Phar-
maceutical chemist. He has had
experience in drug stores before
coming to Beach. in Minnesota,
Iowa and also eastern Dakota.
Like many other business men who
came here he filed on homestead

FHEBIG STORE
In July 1907, E. E. Dickinson,

In July 1907, E. E. Dickinson,
Of Verndale, Mimi, came to
Beach and after looking the town
over and learning of the country's
resources, he decided to put in a
department store. He came to
Beach on the night Of July 3rd; on
July 9Th the dirt was flying and
the cellar for the basement of the
present building was being exca-
waited. The store was finished, the
lower floor, and opened in Deem
Der following. Mr.. Dickinson had
been in the mercantile business for
over 20 years at Verndale before
coming to Beach and upon going
into business here he associated
himself with M. w. Power, of Wa
dena, MINI. The store is the larg
est mercantile establishment in the
county and nearly everything that
should be kept in large depart
ment store can be found on sale.
They make speciality of clothing
and gents furnishings, Mr.. Power
having charge of that department.
He is a clothing store graduate,
having worked and specialized him
self in this line of business. Mr..
Power is what you might call
clothing crank; everything must be
the best, and consequently they
handle first quality goods, such as
Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clothes.
If you don't think he knows his
business just step in and have him
fix you out with a new suit-you
will change your mind. Mr.. Dick
inson the senior member, has been
prominent in school affairs since
coming to Beach, was recently
elected as member of the school
board, and has done great deal
toward getting our new school un-
der way. The store which is shown
on this page, has frontage of 80
feet with glass front. The second
story is used for office rooms.
DACOTAH LUMBER COMPANY
Among the very first who came
to Beach and engaged in business
was Thos. Kranick. He started
the first lumber yard and machin-
cry depot. On the first day of jan
uary, 1906, Mr.. Kranick sold out
to the Dacotah Lumber Company,
