C. A. Bevier. of Dickinson. has
been engaged by j. R. Waters to
run the Beach Steam Laundry,
and is expected to be in Beach
next Monday to start getting
things in shape. Mr.. Bevier was
in town last Sunday looking over
the field and plant and expressed
himself as being most favorab)y
impressed with the city as a very
desirable place for an up-to-date
laundry. The local plant will be
all ovcrhauled and considerable
new machinery added. That Mr..
Bevier is an expert at the business
is proven by the different posi-
tions he has held in his line,
holding the position of manager
not long ago of the Duluth Steam
Laundry, one of the largest insti-
tutions of its kind in the north
west. He is a chemist, and, be-
sides, knows something about how
to build a modern laundry, having
drafted the plans for the one at
Grand Forks, the largest in the
state.

their first crop.
