TRADE JOURNAL MAKES
8EN8ATIONAL ChAoES

Sensational developments are
promised in Investigations into
shipments Of certain big eastern
catalog and mail-order houses in
to this state by the North Dakota
Retailer and Trade Reporter" a
monthly magazine, devoted to the
interests Of the merchants of the
Flickertail state and the CON-
mercial pursuits of this territory
just launched at Minot by Frank
lin Kaufman.
1t is charged that in many in
stances certain mail-order houses
have not only consigned to this
state products which are believed
to be highly adulterated and pois-
onous, but that in many cases
their advertising in catalogs and
other literature pertaining to wear
ing apparel and household goods
has been flagrantly fraudulent.
In the face Of the most trem-
endous bid for business in the his
tory Of North Dakota by mail-ord-
er houses, Kaufman, who has
been observing and studying con-
ditions for some time has sound
ed battle cry that is likely to
jar things from one end Of the
state to the other.
The new magazine viii un-
doubtedly be greeted with en-
thusiasum by, the business in
terests Of this state and also the
commercial travellers, making this
territory, and whom q department

Of the opinion that it will not be

between the federal government
and the public school authorities

Naturalization Increasing
In the last year 1O5,439 certi-
ffcates of naturalization were is
sued by the labor department, and
there are now some 100000 adj.
dltlonal men who have declared
their intention of becoming citiz-
ems. This number is steadily in
creasing, and the work Of the
naturalization bureau is consequ-
emily becoming heavier all the
time. That congress will be ask
ed to provide additional appropri-
atlons for handling this problem
is certain. The new policy of
education to be undertaken by
the bureau will, of course, have
the effect of stimulating natural
ization among aliens in the states
who have not yet declared their
Intention of becoming citizens.
The department believes that
education and distribution are

FARMERS BANK

This youngest financial insti-
tuition of Pennington was or
ganized in 1904 and established
as a State bank, and has had,
from it's organization, a thrifty
growth. The founders of this
institution were P. A. Shaw, Il.
D. Reuter-, L. H. Williams and a
few others. Its first business
quarters was in what is known
as the Pipkin building on the
West side of the Public Square.
The business of the bank grew
so rapidly that its old home was
considered inadequate and the
Board of Managers decided to
buy the vacant lot on the N. w.
corner of the block South of the
Public Square on which was
erected the present beautiful
Banking house, where it's bust
ness is now transacted.
This splendid building was
built at a cost of $4,000. 1t is
two stories, having several
splendid Office rooms on the Sec
ond floor which are rented to
lawyers and other business and
professional men.
At the beginning the patron
age of the Bank was cared fol
with a capital stock of $25, 900
but the business grew so rapid
ly that it was found eXpedient
to increase the capital $4,000
thus making the total capita.
stock $35,00O.00 at the present
time. The bank at present en-.
| joys a surplus of $4,000, which
shows conclusively that it's bus.
mess has been and is now in
thriving condition.
Since it's organization many
/ of the leading citizens, having
confidence in the future Of this
bank, have bought stock, among
whom are w. G. Fischer, William

BANK OF HARRINGTON

This aged and time-tested
financial Institution was estab-
lished in 1886, nearly thirty
years ago, with a capital stock
of 5000, as a private banking
institution to care for the grow
ing financial interests of this
city and adjacent country,
which was then practically in its
infancy. The great wave of
industrial development which
was now getting under way in
this country, through the open
ing up Of vast area of lead
bearing land, about seven miles
to the West of this city and the
consequent impetus given the
surrounding farming commun-
ity, made necessary an estab-
| lishment of this character, hence
the formation of this financial
institution.
The founders were VIM. Car
ter, P. A. Parkherst and H. W..
Weber. These gentlemen re-
solved themselves into a part
nership and put the business on
the highway toward success and
the institution grew so rapidly
! that it was soon found necessary
to increase the capital stock to
care for the great influx of bus
mess due to the wonderful ma
terial development of the fleeing
years. And, in course of time,
further increases were necessi-
tated, until today it has grown
to the enormous capital stock of
S50,000.00, with surplus of
S50,O0O.O0 and undivided prof
its of 100000,
Many Of the leading citizens
of Pennington and vicinity are
stockholders, and the affairs of
the institution are managed by
a board of directors and a staff
of efficient and experienced men
who are well versed in finance
and banking methods.
