s. L BENTON =:
Real Estate.

Mr.. Benton is one who is firm be-
lever that Kandiyohi land excels. He
has been in the real estate business
here for 10 years, and has Deen in the
county for 46. Besides doing large
real estate business, he has built up
a large farm loan business within the
last few years.
He does very much toward advertis-
ing this section of the State, and has
been a great aid in bringing new peo-
pie here from other communities. He
also deals in city property and has
some Canada land for sale.
On account of his faith in Kandiyohi
County he has bought many farms,
and is devoting much of his time and
attention toward improving them, and
encouraging his renters to raise crops
which will prove to be a benefit to the
entire community, namely, such plants
as alfalfa and sweet clover and other
rleguminous plants.
At present he is experimenting ex-
tensively in sweet clover and expects
to meet with great success in this.
We are glad to see a man take
such interest in improving the crops
and raising facilities in our county,
and wish him success in his ventures.
Other communities have been built
up by just these kind of progressive
men. He has always been a booster
for better and richer Kandiyohi

J. J. EkANDER
Merchant Tailor.

If you are in doubt as to the exact
and latest style for your next suit ot
clothes, you will find the shop Of J. J.
Ekander ready to tell you all about
the latest styles. Mr.. Ekander has
from seven to eight expert tailors in
his employ, and turns out work of the
highest class. A good example of pros
perity for his shop is that he "suits'
the majority of the trade of this city.
Mr.. Ekander has the largest and fin
est establishment in Willmar, and
handles full line of the best woolens
on the market. These include the we'll
known Dedmer Woolens, ]. B. Ellison
& Co., and Schamackmaxon.
In addition to expert tailoring work,
the shop does dry cleaning and press
ing, and has considerable trade in
this line. -
It was over rs years ago that J. J.
Ekander started in business as mer-
chant tailor, and he is well known
throughout our county as business
man and workman Of skill. No mat
ter how delicate the fabric may be,
he knows how to handle it, and his
popularity is shown by the constantly
increasing trade by this establishment.
Quite recently Mr.. Ekander has op-
ened up branch of the well known
Wear-u-Well Factory-to-home Shoes.
These goods occupy the southern half
Of his establishment and include mems
women's and children's foot wear. The
aim Of the Wear-U-Wen shoe is to cut
down middle mems profits, and the
prices are $1.6S, $1.9S, $2.9S and $3.4S.
Only the latest style of shoe is kept
in stock and we are assured that the
purchaser here saves at least $1.00 on
every pair of shoes. Those who come
once, come again and this branch of
the business has won many friends
for the proprietor.

Photographic art. To produce results
Of high nature requires q person who
has had years Of study and expert
ence. Students of this character are
the Olson Brothers, who run their
studio on Third street, between Ben
son avenue and Litchfield avenue.
Their operating rooms are equipped
with all the new appliances known to
produce zenith effects that are mod
ern and they have one Of the latest
models Of enlarging machines.
The Olson Brothers are adept In
posing, and are equally proficient in
single sittings and groups. This
studio makes q specially Of amateur
work and do q large business along
this line. In one day they turn out
as high as 1000 prints, and during the
summer months they develop from
lbs to $50 rolls per week. Good work
and low prices have made this es-
Enlistment one Of the most popular
among the amateurs of our commune
ity. This is the only ground floor
studio in our town. The two Olson
brothers are among the two most
popular business men and not only
do work Of the highest quality but
treat everybody with equal courtesy.
