This bank has been fitted out in the
neatest possible manner with a very

Mr.. Anderson, the manager, is q
very pleasant sort Of man to meet and

say for him that he is man who

proven his ability as a manager OF
an enterprise of this kind, and
has shown himself a booster for

An Old Timer Makes Good
P. K. Eastman Is another citizen
of Wilton who has put forth every
effort for the benefit of the town.
And his labors have not been in vain
as is we'll attested by the large firm
in which he is the senior partner.
Mr.. Eastman came to Wilton when
in fact there was no Wilton, Novem-
Der 9, 1899. In the year 1901 the firm
of Jahr & Eastman was organized,
with Mr.. Eastman as one Of the part
ners. The firm continued in bust
ness until the year 1908, when the
firm was incorporated as the Jahr &
Eastman Mercantile Company. At
the time of the incorporation Mr..
A. V. Marcellus became secretary and
treasurer of the institution. The
store was then run under the man.
agement OF the men named until
about a year ago, when Mr.. Jahr sold
his interests to the other parties and
retired, but the company still retained

president of the company.
The business is extensive, taking in
a large range of articles. Complete
lines of hardware, harness boots and
shoes, dry goods, furniture, farm i'm.

carried in stock at all times. The
quality of the articles carried in stock

throughout with the best Of concrete
paving, and is thus easily cleaned
1t is we'll lighted and thoroughly
ventilated, and every precaution has
been taken for the proper care of
the stock Of goods to be kept in stor-
age in it. A perfect brick and stone
vault has been built in the basement
and in this vault are kept the butter,
eggs, cheese and other such articles
of produce, a splendid feature during
the summer months especially. It
is just this kind of close attention to
every department which goes to make
a good organization, nothing is over
looked, no matter how small it be-.
On this same underground floor there
Is a. series of racks and cases where
repairs for farm machinery are kept,
every piece in it's place, and every
box numbered. A line of repairs is
kept on hand such as to met any
demand made by some man who is in
a hurry to repair his binder, or mower
or some other piece of machinery.
On the main floor there is the same
care given to all matters. In prepar-
ing for the welfare Of the customer
the management have even lined the
grocery bins with zinc; and the stor.
age room where the flour is kept is
also lined with this material in order
to keep the mice and bugs away from
the sacks. The hardware line is com.

the trade Is the most up to date that
can be procured. An immense stock

biggest stock Of dry goods and notions
in the town. The grocery depart
ment is strictly UP to date, the trade
being such that all stock on hand
is new and fresh. Firearms and
sporting goods and also automobile
accessories are largely dealt in. Toys
and Christmas goods are displayed in
an amazing array in due season. The
dry goods department is Thoroughly
complete, and the management is
very careful to give every attention
to the smallest wants of its patrons.
Efficient and accommodating clerks
wait upon you in every department re.
alizing that courtesy is a trade.getter
as well as duty to. mankind.
In passing We wish to fully empha.
size the large stocks of harness, wag-
ons and farm machinery of all des-
criptions carried by this concern
This is one branch of the trade given
very special attention, and it is a
branch that should be of interest at
all times to the farmer or the man
concerned with agriculture, and there
are few men who are not for agricul.
ture is the support Of all other in
dustries. Farm machinery is essen.
tial to successful farming and the
man who helps to Introduce and
spread the use Of good machinery is
promoting the farming as much as
any other man. These men stand
ready to give any advice or assistance
to the man in need of the right kind
OF machinery for the territory in
which they are.
Not content with looking after
your wants while you live the Jahr
& Eastman Mercantile company are
prepared to take care Of you after
you have passed from this mortal
realm into the Great Unknown. That
is to say they will attend to the wants
Of. your body which is left on earth.
They deal in caskets and do general
undertaking business, having with
them a licensed embalmer who is
thoroughly capable Of handling all
work entrusted to the firm along this
line.

dry and wet years and has always

question as to how business hat
been during the season of Of 1911
the men replied good" stating tina,
more money had been taken in dur
ing the season than during any sea
son since the beginning Of the nrm.
Messrs. Eastman and Marcellus are
two wide awake business men, thor
oughly alive to the business op2or
tunities of the northwest, and mel
who are doing everything in theil
power to develop their community
They are men who have made a sue
cess here. and their success is their
testimony as to what men can do in
North Dakota If they are but willing
to work.
Great Opportunities Realized
AS an evidence Of what a man who
is really familiar with his business
can do in an agricultural or stock
line we might turn to Jacob Schmid Of
Wilton. Schmid will tell you, If you
ask, that he learned his trade in the
old country when he was a boy. Well
Schmid is proprietor, with his broth.
er, of the Wilton Meat Market. His
remark concerning his learning his
trade in the old country when he was
boy is really droll to stranger
for the party is in appearance little
more than boy yet, but we look
upon him as man because he has
proven himself to be such in his work.
and since age is not so much a matter
Of years as it is a matter of exper-
fence. let Us accede that Mr.. Schmid
Is an "old man" at his trade. He is
one Of the rare men we meet, one of
the really successful men. one wno
began here in North Dakota working
in Bismarck for fifty dollars month;
but he advanced from this steadily
until today he is the head of as fine
a meat market as you will find in
any town Of the size Of Wilton. But
the meatmarket is not all that Mr..
Schmid has acquired in this state,
for he has also splendid stock-farm,
and considerable property adjoining
the city. He takes great pride in
showing one over his property. he is
really pleased to show one through
his meat market and show the stor-
age rooms for the pork, the beef,

camille Company occupying an import
ant position. The Wilton Mercantile
Company is a large incorporated con
Germ. which has been established in
the town for the past seven years OF
so. The firm carries an extensive
line of groceries, shoes, dry goods.
hardware and farming implements.
They are agents for the Mccormack
harvesters and the John Deere plow
line. They have had growing pat
ronage from the time Of their estab.
lishment, patronage which has been
the result of honest treatment on
the part Of the firm toward its Gus.
toners. Good goods at reasonable
prices is q class Of dealing that can.
not help bringing good results. and
this has proven the truth with this
company ever since its birth. Ma
may resort to smooth methods Of
business for a time, but If continued
such a course must bring a change
or a downfall Of the concern, and the
men behind the large stores Of Will
ton have recognized this fact from the
beginning As result Of its straight
management the Wilton Mercantile
company draws trade more than IS
miles, and drives a thriving business
with the immediate surrounding coun.
try. The sheds and storerooms of the
institution are extensive and bear tes-
timony to the amount of the patron
age of the people. There is the main
store of the company, large ware.
house for vehicles, and a great stor-
age room for farm implements, barbed
wire, fencing and other materials.
It would be of some interest to a
person who is at all interested in
the progress of a mercantile institu-
ton to go through this store. Be-
ginning at the bottom of the store, let
us see what is in the basement. This
basement is eight and one-half feet
in the clear, giving ample head room,
and affording considerable space for
the storage of groceries. and other
articles, which are piled about in
large quantities. Boxes and cases
are piled about so that you have to
pick your way through the various
aisles. There are two large furnaces
in the basement for the heating Of
the store, furnace at each end Of
the basement. An elevator has been
installed for conveying the heavy bull
~ articles from the basement to tn.

day school also at Chaplin, village
of twenty-six houses near the mine.
The church fosters a boys club and
girls club, an organization of the
Boy Scouts, a Sunday school of 100,
and an efficient Ladies' Aid. Plans
are now on foot to construct a new
place of worship, as the present one
is altogether too small, and is be.
coming antiquated.
The Catholic church Of Wilton is
made up Of about 100 families, this
number including those of the sur
rounding territory. The present
church has been built only about five
years. Father Joseph Stroemel is the
resident priest now at Wilton, and
he is the first resident priest to have
charge of this church, it being for.
merly in the charge Of the Bismarck
parish.
The telephone exchange comprises
70 instruments in the town and 20
on the Farmers line. A new line will
be constructed in the spring, one ex-

An lnportant Shipping Point
The business carried on by the vari.
Gus concerns Of Wilton is consider.
able. and many things we meet vita
over the town cause US some little
surprise. For the year 1911 the re.
port for this section as given by the
agent for the 500 line is as follows:
SAG cars forwarded.
1913 cars received.
1893 tons mdse. received.
$172,620.94 arnings.
This will give an idea of the quantity
Of stuff going in and out of the town

4: s4s yilton's infancy dates back only
sto the winter of 1S99-1900. At that
time there was no railroad at this
point, and the only buildings In the
place were a land Office, livery and
a store. The first men to winter In
Wilton were P. K. Eastman, Robert
Cotton and w. p. Macomber. Con-
corning the early period Of Wilton
Mr.. Cotton tells US that IAN elevator,
the livery and the store all went up
about the same time. The Presbyter.
ian church was built about two years
later, and the Catholic church was
not erected until about 1906. The
first school was moved In from the
country; it was frame building, and
was later added to and painted. P.
C. Remington built the building now
occupied by the Wilton Bank. Gray's
Pharmacy and the building used by
the commercial club was erected by
p. Parkins for millinery shop for
his daughter. General w. d. Wash
burn built the hotel now operated
by Hit. F., NJ. Pettlgrove was the
first station agent at this point. Caar-
lie Hedlon ran the first elevator In
Wilton, and bought the first grain
in the town. The capacity Of the ele-
vator was about 10000 bushels, and It
was filled to the limit before the
railroad reached the town." How
ever Wilton is hardly old enough to
have an interesting history, except
from the viewpoint Of development.
Although very young the town of
Wilton has made surprising progress.

SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE
President Taft is Doing a Good Work
In Endeavorlns to Keep Congress
Up to the Mark.

Mr.. Taft is distinguishing himself
as much by his messages as by his
vetoes. He constructs literally the in
junction OF the constitution that the
president shall from time to time
give TO the congress information or
the state OF the Union. and recon-
mend TO their consideration such
measures as he shall Judge necessary
and expedient."
Mr.. Taft's message was not one OF
the old'fashioned documents which
hardly anybody read because they
ranged over the whole field of DO.
litical endeavor and were weari.
ness of the flesh. His tour of the
country ended so late In the fall that
there was no time TO prodhce one Of;
those labyrinthine messages. and the
country is grateful. II much prefers
