FARGO
An Attractive Business and Home City

North Dakota now has it's feet firm
ly planted on a solid foundation and
is fully ready to take a course OF real.
pushing progress.
Fargo is the best possible CONNER
cial barometer Of the states develop
ment and 1t grows as North Dakota
expands.
1t is to the interest of all the peo-
pie of this state of rich soil, healthful
climate and unequalled natural ad-
vantages to have a strong metropoli-
tan city such as Fargo. A large share
of the supply and general market bus
mess done in Minneapolis and ST.
Paul should be kept within the state.
Fargo is rapidly gaining recogni-
ton on the map of American progress
and Is destined to not only continue az
the commercial metropolis of North
Dakota, but to become the leading
traffic base of the great northwest.
The last census only gives Fargo's
population as 1881, but its volume
Of general business surpasses that of
many prominent commercial centers
from Illinois to Maine, that have from
two to six times that number of in
habitants. Only a few cities do as
much business per 1000 of population
as Fargo.
The banking clearances of a CITY are
a ready index of it's commercial and
industrial worth, and in this respect,
Fargo, as in many other features,
makes wonderful showing for a city
of its size. It's clearing house ex :
changes, representing all lines of
business, make leading record per
1000 Of population among many Of the
prosperous cities in the United States,
and In actual figures they surpass
those OF many cities in the country
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1911-10-25

of much. greater population. This
fact shows that Fargo is a center OF
tremendous energy for its size.
Citizens of Fargo who see new
buildings going up and the many other
improvements under way know that
the city spreads out and Is doing well.
Yet, few of them realize that Fargo
has been making a really great record
In that line in the past two or three
years.
Still another great evidence of Far
COS Importance is the record of the
Fargo postoffice. That portion Of the
city's existence is OF such a size that
the Fargo postoffice ranks in what is
called the first class. the same as New
York, Chicago and the other large
cities Of the country. This position
Is earned by the actual business 1t
does and cold figures only are consid-
cred by the government in ranking the
various postoffices. All this Is due
almost entirely to common lines Of
business as the receipts are not swell
ed by large mail order business, as is
the case in many eastern cities.
Even as a manufacturing city Fargo
is progressing and 1t is now the home
Of several thriving manufacturing in
dustries employing an ever increasing
number Of hands and whose products
annually run into hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. This means the pay
ing out Of a vast amount of money for
labor nearly all of which is spent In
the city. New industries are con-
stantly looking over the field with a
view of locating in Fargo. Increase OF
industries increases population and
every dollar added to the pay roll adds
new life blood to all lines of trade.
The surest way to build Fargo is to
boost its factories and use those

AS jobbing center, Fargo has a

business that a city of several times
it's size would well be proud Of, Near
ly every line is represented and Fargo
is recognized and appreciated by
merchants all over the northwest Far
go ranks among the greatest markets
in the world for the distribution If
farm machinery of al kinds, and hun
dreds of commercial travellers are en-
ployed by local concerns and make
their homes here.
AS an educational point Fargo Of
fers facilities hard to equal. The state
agricultural college is the greatest of
its educational institutions and besides
1t there are several first class de-
nominational schools and colleges as
well as two thorough business col
leges The public schools. including
the high school are the equal of any
in the country and all are housed In
handsome and substantial structures,
fully equipped for the teaching of the
student
Religious life is prominent in Fargo
and many handsome and costly edifices
grace the city as the homes of the
various denominations. Fargo is al
so the see Of the Roman Catholic
and Episcopal churches.
With its excellent railway facilities
ample hotel accommodations and the
general hospitality of its citizens Far
60 is the natural convention city of
North Dakota and western Minnesota.
Fargo has a well established park
system managed by competent park
board.
With it's beautiful homes. miles OF
pavement, convenient street railway
system. modern improvements Of all
kinds. the latest of which is a new
pure water filtration plant being built,
Fargo Is an attractive city from everv
viewpoint and is constantly forging
to the front as an ideal location FOR
business and home.

better adapted for general wear, such as
