A Monument to Faith.

A Monument to Faith.
The Ontario store, that splendid de-
partment store building which looms
up at the corner of Third street and
DeMers avenue, stands as q monu-
ment to the faith Of one man in the
city. He came when the outlook was
bright. 1t is true. but even at that the
prospects were dim as compared with
the dazzling promise Of the present.
His first store. pictured on this page.
has grown gradually from year to year
until the Ontario store has become the
greatest department store in North
Dakota. There is not a finer depart
ment store building in the northwest
than is the Ontario store.
Tomorrow when the Ontario store
is opened on the first morning of it's
thirty-first year. the conditions will
be strange by contrast with those ex-
listing November 2, 1881. The "cor-
ner grocery store" days Of the Ontar-
10 store have long since passed by.
Thirty years have served to wipe out
every vistage Of the early day exper-
fences and early day conditions and
the customers who flock through. the
doors Of the big institution tomorrow
will see nothing to remind them Of
the days when the Ontario store was
nothing more or less than q strug-
Cling frontier day general store"
The career of the store has been
of the brightest, and each year. has
seen new improvements and added ia.
cilittes for taking care of the trade.

There was nothing that I could find
in the food she ate that was poison
