buffalo found the best of grass and
came here to feed. The farmer
found the best of Ian dthrough the
efforts of this animal, knowing that
where the grass was plentiful, the
grain crop would grow as abundant,
and they have madeno mistake in
following this rule.
Location.
Turtle Lake is situated in Mclean
county, and surrounded by one of the
best territories in the state. There
are larger contributing territories to
many towns in the state, but few
richer. The farming country is prac'
tically new and has not the devel.
opment yet that will prove this sec
ton to be among the largest produc.
ing market points Of any single place
In the northwest.
Drouth has never been known in
this locality, as plenty Of rainfall has
been had to mature the crops. The
land is of a gentle rolling nature,
a heavy soil that makes a seed bed
that does not let the crop fall from
the least wind, but grows a healthy
straw that will keep the grain froz1
breaking it and wasting the efforts
Of the farmer, causing discomfort
and worry. The average farmer has
stock that would take a blue ribbon
at any county fair, both horses and
cattle. .~ lis --
Can't be Beaten.
We not only consider the sur
rounding country around Turtle Lake
but have the business men of this
thriving city to think of and the pro.
gress they have made in building up
one of the best trading centers in the
state. Their business houses show
the kind of men that take interest in
the upbuilding of their future home
and business, place, making a place
for their children to be educated and
learn the great elssons of life, and
a. last remain where there is 50
much for them. You will find in Tur.
tie Lake a cooperative city where
everyone takes an interest in every,
thing that will hip the growth of their
city. not Sinking their duty to their
town and their neighbor. You will
find in every instance where big
things have been accomplished, that
It will take more than one person
to do the thing that is done right.
Nc Exception.
And Turtle Lake is no exception
In this case. For every business man
takes pride in the arrangement of his
stock and making the display as at.
tractive as possible, causing the peo-
pie to come ever from an outside
territory to trade at their stores,
thereby giving the city more business
and a chance to improve its build
ings and streets. You do not hear
a merchant in Turtle Lake say that
is my competitor W there, but that
is my brother merchant, telling you
that he is a fine fellow and other
things that would raise that mer-
chants standard higher in your es-
timation and the man speaking. His
stock goes up in your estimation,
about a hundred per cent. He is not
a knocker, but a booster for Turtle
Lake and all that goes with it. You
will find all complete tocks carried
in this town. Every merchant prides
himself upon his individual line and
keeping nothing but the best for his
customers, and never letting the
thought of. the Golden Rule stray
from his mode of dealing with his
trade, he knows that they are the
people that make him his living and
the amount that he wishes to lay
away for that rainy day, that is sure
to come to us all some time.
Good Institutions.
You have two of the best bank
ing institutions in the state to do
your banking business with. The
men that control and operate these
banks are men that have a thorough
knowledge of this business and arr
capable of handling your deposits
and savings to the best advantage.
You have the best of security. By
your money in one of these
banks you make yourself safe from
the numerous losses that are fire.
quently read about in your daily pa
per-fire, burglar, or mislaid.
Oont have to cave.
You do not have to leave the city
of Turtle Lake for your dry goods,
your groceries, or inf act, anything
that you could buy elsewhere, you
can buy here, and not take the
chance of 1t being shoddy merchan-
disc that some dealer has had for
year" and saw you coming. Your
dealer a not afford to sell you that
kind of material. Why? How long
would you p%atronize a merchant Of
this kind? Not very long, and how
long would that merchant last in
your town? Not long enough to get
settled. That is the reason
you should patronize home in
and not leave the man that
pays taxes at the same county seat
that you do. Do the improving, and
help build up your community, and
make the value of your farm greater
in dollars and cents. You says again
that if your land increases in value
that your taxes will be larger. Sure,
but have you stopped to consider
that your roads and other improve
ments will be of the best and make
it possible for you to draw more grain
to the load to town, save your horse
flesh, and repair bill, and numerous
other expenses that today eat in on
your profits until they are cut down
by a large margin?
You do not want to consider the
town business men the whole thing
just because he is in town, and you
are in the country, remember you
