Dakota Trust Company

The Dakota Trust Comany, while yet
young in age, has in it's three years of
existence become well-known factor in
the financial circles of this city and state.
Organized, controlled and operated as it is
by some of the strongest financial men I'm
the state Of North Dakota, it easily took
it's place from the beginning among the
leading financial institutions of the city.
With capital stock all paid in and it's
constantly increasing surplus it is more
and more reaching out and acquiring f.
nancial relationship with people needing
such services as it renders.
The company pays the usual rate of j
per cent on deposits left three months or
more Under the state law, it is further
empowered to execute surety and fidelity
bonds and the bonds of the Dakota Trust
Company are known Throughout the entire
state with the greatest respect
The company is, ever willing to loan
money upon approved real estate security
at the current rates Of interest known
as it is and supported by men of such
sound judgment and financial responsible.
ity, 1t cannot help but be within a few
years one of North Dakota's strongest
financial institutions.

GUS methods were taken to raise the
funds, shares of stock were sold at
par value of SO each; thousands of
miniature bricks were nodded and sold
to the people at a uniform price of
81 each. The various secret and fra
ternal societies, labor unions and other
organizations, who felt that at some
time they would have need of the
building for meeting of their organi-
zation, contributed as literally as they
possibly could towards the fund.
After campaign Of about three
months the fund had grown until about
$4,000 was on hand to begin the erec-
tion OF a building. A suitable site was
purchased, on which the owner made
a very low price, and the building was
begun. The plans called for struc-
ture ITO feet wide by $50 feet in
length, with a balcony running around
the entire side. and stage 4Ox110
feet to occupy one end. This gave
seating capacity for between 5000 and
5000 persons when the main floor
and balcony were all utilized; besides
it gave them floor space for shows
and exhibits of 110 by $40 feet with
an auxiliary space on the stage of 40
x110 feet This building cost when
completed about $4,000.
When the outer walls were erected
the second campaign was put on to
try to raise funds to pay the total
cost and have the building clear at its
completion. This was found to be inn
possible, owing to the hard times Of
1907, and when the building was COM
pleted the association found it neces
sary to borrow $4,000 on long time.
Fargo does not need as large a
structure as that in Omaha. 1t is
in fact too large for that city. only

have ever been able to fill it.

factory. They came to Fargo with over
ten years successful experience In the
cracker business, which with their modern
factory enables them to make the finest
crackers on the market, and their trade
Is rapidly growing. The capacity of the
local plant is sixty barrels of flour per
day. The building is arranged to consume

be advisable to erect similar one to
the one in Grand Forks, which is about
S5x1t0 feet, which seats about $500
pense to about $4,000. which it is
possible to raise in this immediate
vicinity for building of this kind.
The only thing necessary to bring
a successful consumation of the plans
for the erection Of an auditorium is
for every individual to do his part,
to boost the project as much as pos
sible;s give just as much as he feels
able to. If not able to give money
he should give a part of his time in
boosting for the project. If we will
but put our shoulder to the wheel, and
get down to brass tacks and boost,
boost, boost all the time, we will have
an auditorium here before the end of
1912
Aside from the fact that an audi
torium would draw many conventions,
thus bringing thousands of visitors
each year, it would result in an
annual automobile show, an annual
horse show, some spectacular produc
tions and various other gatherings,
which would materially add to the ad-
vancement of Fargo. as trading point.
Every. business man, every retailer or
wholesaler is vitally interested in hav-
ing people Of the state and other cities
visit Fargo each year. 1t is necessary
for our future that we let the world
at large know that we are progress
sive and uptodate community, always
ready to fill the needs of the people
in any manner. and one that can be
depended upon to be ever at the fore
front in local improvements.
In boosting this project let us all
lay aside any selfish interest. and do
all that we can without hope for re-
ward to help forward the building of

FARGO'S NEXT GREAT NEED AN AUDITORIUM

The milling about the streets last
week of thousands of people; the
tramping of the hosts from place to
place to see the scattered shows and
the inadequate facilities of the build
ings wherein they were held could not
but impress upon the minds of the OBJ
server the absolute need of an auditor
1um, building large enough to ac-
commodate the exhibits and the peo-
pie who attended the various con-
ventions.
The commercial club has taken the
first step towards securing such a
building by forming an auditorium as
sociation, and in a short time will
begin an active campaign for funds
sufficient to build and equip such a
place for public assemblage.
In the city of Omaha about ten
years ago the same condition prevail
ed that now prevails in Fargo. Omaha
is the largest city in Nebraska as
Fargo is the largest city in North Da-
kota. AS natural sequence conven-
tions of political parties and various
other organizations were called to meet
in Omaha, and when the delegates ar
rived they found halls at their dis
posal totally inadequate to accommo-
date them. The same condition pre-
walls here. as the conventions increased
in number conditions became worse
and worse, just as it has here
A few enterprising citizens of Oma-
ha started the Omaha Auditorium as
sociation for the purpose of building
an adequate assembly hall and adopted
for their slogan in the beginning of
their campaign for funds AN audi
torium built by the people, and for the
people, No man was asked to sub
scribe to a great extent in fact all

project according to their means. Yari !
