application of the board of educa-

and placed on file. Mr.. Alton made

REDWOOD FALLS
HAS IFS AUTOS
City Claims State Record For
Cars in Proportion to
Its Population.
FORTUNE IN THE VEHICLES
"a Prosperity of Section Proved
Automobiles Owned. Many
Farmers Have Them.

Redwood Falls and near vicinity
has 125 automobiles.
Secretary of State, julius A.
Schmahl, being interested in the dis
trict, has kept count of the number
of automobile license tags sent to
the Redwood Falls postofice, and he
says that 125 were mailed.
TOTAL ABOUT $50.
In addition to this there are at
least half a dozen cars purchased
within the past few days that prob
ably have not their licenses or were
not counted by the secretary. Also
the sale of cars is holding strong
and the automobile dealers say they
have experienced no let up in the
business and claim to have several
prospective purchasers in view.
BIG JUMP FROM LAST YEAR.
This is a decided jump from the
number of tags sent to Redwood
Falls year ago. Then lis was
the total. 1t is almost certain that
there are fifteen more cars here this
spring than there were last fall.
SIS7,OOO IN AUTOS.
On an average of 81, 500 a car this
means $751;, 800 in cars with consid-
cradle addition to be made to that
for the garages. AS the dealers are
prosperous and the business strong
it is evident the people in this county
can afford these cars.
CITY CLAIMS STATE RECORD
A good many people use them in
their business and find them ex-
tremely profitable. Several farmers
have them and declare they save
money for them. Of course there
are few who use them largely for
pleasure.
1t is said that no other city in the
state has so many automobiles for
the population as Redwood Falls and
so far as the state records go this
claim is we'll founded. 1t is an indi-
cation of remarkable and exception
al prosperity.
