Liverymcn and Livery.barns.
The Star Livery Feed and Sale stable
was opened as Crosby August 1907.
Here general livery business is done,
horses arc bought and sold, and dray
line is owned and operated. The barn
is large and commodious and service
prompt and of the best. Duffy Bros.
are the proprietors.
A new and up-to-date barn was built
three years ago by Ole Thorson, jr. This
building will accommodate sivty head
of horses, and has wei which supplies
some of the best water of the city. An
auto livery and dray line is run in con-
nection, and the best of service is rem
dered to the public. wi
For the Commercialmen.
The Pilgram, clean and commodi
GUS hotel, is run by Guy Grove. The
building is steam heated and gas light
ed and has large we'll kept lobby.
Palatablc meals are served here in q
neat and well-lighted dinning room.
They Buy the Grain.
; In addition to grain the Atlantic Ele-
vator Company handles coal, lumber
and farm machinery. In gEain is the
big business, however. Last year they
bought about $4,000 bushels. d. w.
Madden is the agent here. He has
been with the firm for the past two
years.
Tho Farmers cooperative Elevator
and Trading company have $4,000
capacity house here. N. E. Norman is
the manager. G. F. Holbrook presi-
dent, and John Porath secretary. !"
w. D. Donovan is the agent for the
National Elevator company here.
They have a 10000 capacity house.
John Norgstog and the Northland
Elevator company are synonymous to-
the people of Crosby. This house is
of $4,000 capacity and we'll patronizcd.
For the past six years the Rugby
Manufacture company has had a 3d.
900 bushel house mere. II. Landcrs is
the agent, and during his stay here
has bought his share of the grain for
the concern which he represents.
Winter Truesdell-Ames Co. also has
a station here with G. Oldre as their
agent. This name is not so familiar
in this section of the state as some
Others but Mr.. Oldre does large bus
mess.
And such is Crosby as grain CEN
ter. From this port is shipped annu-
ally about million bushels of wheat.
Most of the shipment is to Minneapo
lis, although good portion goes to
Duluth. There are only few points
over the state that touch the high
mark that Crosby reaches each year.
About the Schools.
Crosby would hardly be consistent
with her progress along othher lines if
she did not afford good school. Here
is an excellent graded schol with two
years of high school. There is an en-
rollment of 1856 pupils, which are un-
der the supervision of six teachers.
In Conclusion.
Perhaps the most apt thing we could
say about Crosby is that it is mighty
big little town. 1t has wheat and
wheat, but also some dairying. Diver
sified farming is coming, although it
must be developed by the immigrants
as the old timers are buried in the
wheat rut. There are things and other
things that people can make money
with in Crosby. We believe it is a
good town, so do the people in Cros
by. If you are from Missouri give the
peple in Crosby chance.
