The Mandan Mercantile Co. is one
of the business concerns OF the town
that has already outgrown the present
quarters, and is now planning the
erection of one of the largest and
most up to date lumber yards and
sheds in the state.
The new sheds will be 60 by 100
feet, with three decks. Work has al
, ready begun. In these sheds will be
housed the big stock of lumber and
implements carried by this firm.
The Mandan Mercantile company
has been established in business in
Flasher for three years. being the
first lumber company in the town.
L. C. Rasmussen, the present local
manager, has been in that position for
a year.

Good feed is plentiful and can be
had at reasonable prices and the far
mers of the country are very much
interested in the dairy business.
The North Dakota Nursery company
of which NJ. J. George is manager, is
a Flasher institution that is doing
a lot toward the development of
the Mott line country.
This spring the company made one
of the biggest paintings in the history
OF the nursery business in North Da-
kota.
In the planting was included forest
and grove trees apples, roses. lllacs
and a big variety of small fruit.
All of the stock of the nursery com.
pany is grown without the slightest
aid by means of irrigation, the natural
rainfall being ample for the needs OF
the growing trees.
This company was organized as 4
company last year but in March Of
this year took out a charter granting
it the rights of corporation. IT
is local capital that is invested IN
the nursery company. The land
owned by the company is situated
eight miles below Flasher on the nrst
bench above Dog creek.
This fall it is the intention or the
company to erect an office building

The Spielman brothers are among
the younger set of the town and as

a reputation that bespeaks the con-
tinued success of the firm. They
are men of integrity and have made
lot of friends not only among the
townspeople but among the visitors
to the town who have had the oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with
them. They are among the boosters

high class of citizenship of the town.

prepare meal that makes one re-
call it with pleasure and the table
set by the Hotel Brown is the subject
