~I1dLlcIOH, X>s ~. AuS WORK liOUi thcoo
studios is Of the highest class.
Livery and Feed.
An up-tO-date feed barn, with livery
in connection, is under the manage
ment Of Ben Hagsard. Mr.. Haggard
is an old.timer here and In his long
stay has made many friends.
Billiard Room
AS congenial and attractive a BILL
lizard hall as you will find in many
| miles travel is situated under the
Stone Drug Store and is run by Roy
| Carley. Mr.. Carley Is to be praised
for his excellent and orderly manage
ment.
The Tonsodiai ParIor. -
The barber here is A. NJ. Britts.
who runs an up-to.theminute shop.
He is one of the ~iRfllehcial men Of
the town and an agent for the Aber-
deem Steam Laundry.
For Ladies' Head Gear.
The town has two neat and attrac.
tive millinery parlors. One is owned
by Mrs. VIM. Raven & Co. and the
other by Mrs. Yorker. The two con
Germs both display the latest fashions
in their line, and from so large a
stock it ought to be. easy to pick
something exactly to your liking. ,
For the Commercial Men.
The town has been endowed with
three hotels all Of which are good
places to stop and serve clean meals.
OF these the Stone Hotel is most
deliberately furnished, but of course
commands the highest rate. The
Turner Hotel and restaurant is near
est to the depot and is run by H. s.
Turner. The Linton House is also a
good place, and is run by Mrs. z.
Norman. T..
Something Unusual.
This town differs from most towns.
and in fact from most cities, in that
it has had a brass band or thirteen
consecutive years, and during that
time there has been no change or. re-
organization. This has been due
mainly, to the Efforts of. the late Prof.
Smith, and after his death to DR.. C.
o. Smith, his son. This is probably
one of the best organizations of its
kind in the western part of the stale.
They were called upon to furnish the
music for the Elks at the Northwest
ern Exposition at Bismarck this fall,
and went from Linton, having a spe-
cial train. There are twenty-five
members in all and the band is favor
ably known throughout, the state.
The Grain Dealers.
Linton is supplied with five ele-
vat0rs, all of which reort a good bus
mess. These concerns are: the Pa.
cific Elevator Co.., of which E. W.
Kramer is manager; Occident Ele-
vator Co., of which. F. X. Junge is
manager; Linton Grain Co.,; F. R.
Shilling Co.; and the Reliance Ele.
vator Co. These houses, ship out an
nually about 200, 900 bushels of wheat.
Opportunities.
Although Linton has had a steady
growth and has developed into what
it is without any boom, it has for
that reason several opportunities.
Electric-lighting plants are making
money daily in. towns Of half the
size. This is an opportunity for some
one with a little capital.
Why. can't Linton have a creamery?
Yearly over 1000 cans OF. cream are
shipped from here ana farmers are
fast coming to diversified arming.
A irst class tin shop and also a
garage would be money:makers, for
the right parties.
And what about a steam laundry?
There is nothing along that line be-
tween Bismarck and Aberdeen. A
laundry here would draw trade from
a large surrounding territory.
For investment this is a good town.
The new N. p. cutoff going from Ed
gerly to Miles City will pass through
here an ,dgive the town still another
and better outlet, This line will GER
tainly be built in a year or two. Lin
ton is steadily growing and, is surely
destined to be much larger.
Yes, Linton has been weighed in
the balance-but it has not been found
wanting.
