Harvey, North Dakota, has Ions
been counted among the first cities
OF @she state, and is still holding her
own as a trade center and from a
commercial standpoint, having some
of the largest establishments and in.
situations of any city in the. north
west. Harvey is located in one Of the
rich farming districts, OF which North
Dakota is so Well noted for. The 500
railroad affords the best OF accom-.
modations, in passenger and freight
service alike. making 1t possible for
the merchant to always Keep his
stock in the best of condition and
have nothing but first class nerchan.
disc to sell his customers, and the
customer realizes this fact, and con.
tinues to make this point his trad.
ing place, even II he may have 10
travel a few miles extra. He can be
sure of taking the best home to pre-
serve the health OF his family and
bring up the healthy kind of children
that have and will be a credit to the
great states Of North Dakota.
Harvey has every facility with
which to make it the largest trading
center of any town in the state, and
not only the facility, but the men
with the ability and energy to push
1t to the front rank. There is no,
another town in the safe that can
boast any larger amount of ready cap
ital, ready at any time, to be put into
action for the betterment of any con
dltion that may arise. Harvey has
long been noted for her, enterprise
and progressive feeling, and there
are nen in the town that are there
to further the plans that would bet.
ter Harvey.
Beautiful Houses.
You can find some of the most beau
tiful and modern homes in Harvey
built from the best Of material, anc
from plans that leave no question as
to the builders intention. and that is
to make Harvey beautiful, and these
citizens have succeeded in their sef
forts.
Large Wheat Market.
Harvey has for many year beer
the largest primary wheat market in
the world. Has a population OF 1900.
q division on the 500 railroad, has
its own electric light plant, water
system and has the best fire protec-
ton of any town in the state. It has
not only the rich agricultural com
.nunity to support it, but has a great
future and possibility as a center 70,
the greater part of commercial fuel,
as there are veins that run twenty
feet, and some of these are in fact un
der the city. Now reader stop and
think that the coal fields of North
Dakota are not developed as yet. We
have no idea of the great amount OF
the coal that is hidden beneath the
surface Of the state. We can only
think Of the possibilities and conger
up what may be as yet, but this we
are certain OF, and that is that the
state Of North Dakota is only in her
infancy and will develop into the
greatest state in the Union.
New York may have her millions
OF factories and people, but can she
boast OF the sourc that we can
and then have the data to back these
assertions UP. What would the state
Of New York do if North Dakota's
great wheat fields would dry up?
There would be nothing doing, think
of the enormous amount of wheat
that Is raised and shipped out of this
state every year, the number of loayes
Of bread that the territory around
Harvey would produce would fill
every car Of every railroad. and the
hold Of every ship in the world, and
the bread basket of millions of wage
earners in this country.
The Banking Institutions.
The banking institutions of Harvey
are of the best and can sbe relied up.

tiles, and would do the same thing
over again and gladly. These banks
are of the progressive kind, and men
behind that have the ability to- cope
with the every day problems that
arise and make the banker the busy
man that he is. These banks are con

good institution is, the most stringent

the .depositor of the safeness Of his
hard earned dollars. This is a fea.
ture OF Harvey. Three of the best
banking houses in the northwest are
located here, and there has never
been q time when either has been
embarrassed, from the shortage OF
capital to supply their many custom.

men that have helped to develop thi-
state into what it is today, and are
still at work upon the sane plan OF
work. They bad faith in this state
when IT was young. and now see that
their faith was not unsound.
