Olof A. Norman, Of Renville
County Chooses This City
as Best Place 10 Live.

Last Thursday a deal was closed
whereby o. A. Norman, of Renville
county. became the owner Of the
corner lot at Jessie Street and Au-
gusta avenue, the property of Mrs
Anna Nyquist. On this lot Mr..
Norman will build a modern $500
residence. The contract for the
concrete basement has been let to
Nelson & Swenson. and they will
commence work at once. Mr.. Nor
man, who before going into farm
ing was a contractor by trade. will
superintend the work Of erecting
the residence himself. and he hopes
to have it complete by July l, when
he will move here with his wife
and two daughters and make this
city his future home.
After Is years of successful farm
ing Mr.. Norman recently retired,
disposing of his fine farm near
Olivia for $4,000. With the view
of selecting a good city in which to
build his future home he visited a
number of smaller and larger
places, including Minneapolis, but
he finally decided upon Willmar as
the ideal place of residence. Mr..
Norman said he was prompted in
his selection by the facts that Will
mar had superior educational facil-
ties, a number of representative
churches, and no saloons. He is a
firm believer in a ''dry" town, and
he has been watching with interest
the successful fight against the sa-
looms in this city. He was very
much pleased to find out that he
would become a resident here of
the Fourth or Prohibition ward !,
