Way back in 1888, long time ago,
viewed in the light of western deveI-
Opment, but only short time when
compared to the older sections of the
country a young man who had come
to Fargo from farm in old Yorktown,
Me-, went back to Boston and called
upon q wholesale dry goods merchant
with a proposition to secure line of
credit, as he was opening a store in
Fargo. N. D., section about as we'll
known in those days in Boston as is
Labrador in North Dakota now. The
first wholesaler he talked with looked
over his proposition, counted UP the
young mans expense items, cast UP in
probable business, and, with the mar
row vision Of many fasteners calmly
turned the young man down-no
chance for living in business under
such conditions, he said

broader outlook on life as it proved:
man who could see possibilities in
his felloWmen and a man who had
some idea that while Boston might be
the hub Of the universe the real thing
in wheel is the rim, it rubs up
against things, and the west was the
rim of things then as it is today. He
saw it and after consideration offered
the young man as much credit and as
long as was reasonable, and while that
man who saw the possibilities of bust

ious in his attention to his business,
and the result is to be seen in the re-
markable success that has attended his
efforts. 1t is not only a credit to the
proprietor Of so large and so good a
store; it is a credit to the perception
of community who are quick to grasp
the fact that the man who wants bus
mess and is making worthy solicita-
tion of it should succeed.
Mention has been made of the up
to-date character of the Moody store
and its appointments. From the base
ment to the top floor efficiency has
been made the key note and this com
plete store is run upon the principle
of the greatest efficiency in equipment
and in service. Attractive features
add to a business very materially;
every advantage of such features has
been taken in the Moody store

shows what application, energy and
purpose can accomplish in this fast
growing section of the greatest coun-
try on earth. Not little Of the sue
cess OF the Moody store can be attrib-
uted to the generous use of newspaper
publicity, in which Mr.. Moody is a
firm believer, and OF which he uses a
large amount yearly.
Aside from his large commercial in
terests, Mr.. Moody is deeply interested
in and a generous contributor to the
First Congregational church OF Fargo.
He is director in the First National
bank and has shown mis- BELIEF in the
future of rural North Dakota by large
investments in farm lands in different
parts of the state.

ness in Fargo when laid before his eyes
by the man who wanted credit has
passed into another world he lived to
see his judgment justified and his best
hopes realized.
The young man who sought credit in
1883 was A. l.. Moody, proprietor today
of the largest and finest exclusively
dry goods establishment between the
twin cities and Spokane, business
that is vast in it's proportions and a
store that compares favorably with the
best in the largest cities of the coun-
try. A store built up by the energy
and the foresight of a man who had
the determination and the ability to
carry things to a successful conclusion.
AS stated above, Mr.. Moody started
in business in 1888, coming TO Fargo
from his old home in Maine. His first
store was sixty feet OF the old Davis
block which stood on the site of his
present store. He had two clerks to
start with. The second year he had
ninety feet of the store, and took the
rear end OF what had been a drug
store, but which was then the Sund-
berg Jewelry store. Next he took the
Sundberg store space and cut an arch
through the wall and two years later
the entire wall was removed making
store space of 50x90 feet.
In 1903 the store was extended thir-
ty-five feet to the rear, one story in
height, and in July, 1905, fifteen feet
more were added making a floor space
of 90x140 and filling the entire lot to
the extreme edge of the alley in the
rear IT was also at this time carried
up another story making a second
floor space of 50x140. In 1909 the store
had SO far outgrown its quarters that

with all modern devices for the ready
display OF goods and the comfort of
patrons who are being fitted. Above
the shoe department. is a balcony 5Qx15
feet, on which is situated the business
Office and wrapping department. From
this balcony a spiral iron staircase
leads to Mr. Moody's Office on the Sec
ond floor.
Ascending to the second floor on the
elevator one steps into the fur depart
ment. This second floor is devoted to
ready to wear garments and is carpet
ed from front to rear with a magnifi-
cent carpet Of rich appearance and
beautiful texture. In the rear Of this
floor is the millinery department, the
show room for the finished hats and a
light airy work room for the miIliners

the corset department and in the cor
ner of this room is pretty space di-
vided off and devoted to the display OF
infants garments OF all descriptions.

kind in this section of the country and
this magnificent business has been
built up in twenty eight years by the
energy of one man.
The Moody store is stragetically To-
Gated for business, present and future
for no matter which way Fargo may
grow Broadway will always be the main
thoroughfare and the store stands at
the end of Broadway where it crosses
Front. When remodelling was under
way the underpinning and walls of the
building were reinforced and strength
ened making it substantial and strong
enough to carry many times the load
it has to carry at present.
Entering the store to the right is
the silks and dress goods department
occupying the front and sixty feet of
the wall space. In the rear of this is
the linen department, occupying about
the same space and still further back
is the wash goods department, which
runs back to shoe department, which in
turn occupies fifteen feet of space across
the entire rear of the store. Down the
right center beginning at the front,
one comes first to the dress trimmings,
then the laces and embroidery depart
ments and last to the neckwear de-
partment.
On the left entering the store is the
glove and handkerchief departments
occupying the front. Next comes the
hosiery and underwear departments,
and next, beyond the elevator and
stairs, is the drug department. In the
center, on the left, are the ribbon and
leather goods department, next in ro-
tation are the notions, jewelry and sta
tionery departments.
The shoe department, as mentioned
above, occupies the entire rear of the
store and this department is fitted
