The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1908-05-21

A new venture is to be Launched IN
His city in the shape OF what IS
known as a Monthly Market Day. Mr..
3 f.i,len the man who is promoting the
5g ,,n,roposition, has been establishing 'a
similar institutions throughout the
Northwest, and is said to have met
with decided success. The first Market
nav and Horse and Cattle sale Will
he held in Minot, Saturday. May Sotn.
And the indications are that II VIII y
he one of the biggest business events
ever held in this section. The promot-
or will start the business on with a
rush that will assure success.
There will be mailed out hundreds
of circulars to the farmers and stocK
: raisers in Ward county. Foreign puy-
eds throughout the northwest N
!, whose interests the promoter is work
ing in establishing these market days
and horse and cattle sales at conVeh-
ent points throughout the state VIII pe
notified of the first market day and
all subsequent ones during 1898, ana
they will attend the sales from month
10 month in largely increasing NUM-
hers. until Minot becomes the Creates
live stock market in the Northwest.
Ward county formers will soon learn
that on these Market Days they can
really obtain good cash prices for their
live stock and will bring in horses
and cattle by the hundreds With mar
ket days, however, the live stock sales
are only an instance. Farmers VIII
also learn that it will be cheaper TO
bring in their personal property to
these great sale days, where tremend'
eous crowds will always be present
than to hold sales on their farms as
is the custom at present. They Wal
he benefited by patronizing market
days as sellers in the saving OF any
advertising whatever, and best OF all
in being sure of having large crowds
to buy their stuff. Farmers from hun
dreds of miles will attend these mar.
ket day auction sales in Minot each
month.
And sales on farmes will soon be a
thing of the past. Every thing brought
in for the first sale will be sold With
out charge to the owner, the business
men will be called upon for donation
and in view Of the fact that there will
be no expense to them for the future
market days and the great benefit to
be derived from the permanent estab'
lishment of the same in this city the
promoter hopes that they will be lib
eral. Mr.. Gillen wishes it thoroughly
understood that when he leaves Minot
his work in keeping up these market
days never ends. He keeps on poOst-
ing for Minot among stock buyers
and stock raisers everywhere and
through the newspapers SO that what
ever is left from the subscription az
ter he pays all the expenses however
large the balance may be, never is
sufficient to pay for the permanent
good they bring the city.
What are Market Days?
You know that it means to bring a
large crowd Of farmers and their FAM
lilies and foreign stock buyers to your
town on certain day in each month
bent wholly on business.
That's what market days will do.
They are conducted on sound business
principles business for the farmer
and business for the merchant. The
former brings in horses and cattle and
anything else he desires to have
sold at auction or private sale; the
foreign buyer fro mthe principal cities
in the Northwest is present in large
numbers to purchase the live stock
offered for sale in your town on the
monthly market days, and where the
stock is sold at auction, good prices
are obtained by the farmer from these
competitive bidders. AS soon as the
