WEBSTER A MART OF TRADE

Handsome Homes and Her
People Are Happy, Pros
porous and COntenteG

Mans first and greatest care shou Id
be the comfort and happiness of his
family, and in looking for a business
location, he should take into consider
alton the advantages presented as a
place of residence as we'll as business.
Surely, no more pleasant town than
Webster can be found and no better
county than Day. Then if yon seek
not only a beautiful and healthftul
location, but a place where your chill
dren can enjoy the best educational
advantages, Webster has few super
iors in the west. Christian people will
find here a home agreeable to their
tastes and one in which they may
enjoy to the fullest extent the church
privileges so dear to them. Then
again, people in search of a location
should choose growing town, not one
that is finished and fenced in, with the
idea that it is more refined and quiet.
The writer has visited many thriving
towns and cities all over the great
west. and few of equal population will
compare favorably with Webster,
either as a residence town or a bust
ness point. Webster lies in the heart
of one of the richest agricultural and
grazing sections of the state, and no
town is surrounded by more produc-
tive country.
Webster is an Incorporated town and
the county seat of Day county and
has population of $500. 1t is located
on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway, 247 miles west of st. Paul.
1t was first settled in 1880 and was
incorporated as a city, May 9th 1895.
1t has six churches, nine grain eleva-
tor, an opera house, two hospitals, a
Touring mill, two feed mills, creamery,
hotels and the usual number of gen.
eral stores found in towns of this size.
Webster has splendid electric light
ing plant furnishing both night and
day service, also an up-to-date water
works and sewer system. Webster
has more beautiful homes with well
kept lawns and elegent shade trees
than any other town of equal size in
the state and no town that we know of
can boast of more or better cement
side walks. Our real estate dealers
have long lists of desirable farms and
ranches for sale at reasonable prices
and on easy terms, and to the eastern
renter we say look over our town and
country as we feel sure you will find
what yon want and will look no fur
Their.
Trade at Home
Just stop for minute and ponder
what the full significance of these
three words are-what it means to a
town to have each and every one of its
inhabitants adopt this PHRASE as q
motto and follow it unfailingly.
1t means greater trade for our mer.
