A. J. WRIGHT & SONS.

In our campaign for publicity for
the different business firms and peo-
pie that have been friendly with our
people, the Irish Standard wishes, in
this thirteenth anniversary edition, to
call to the attention of it's readers
a concern that has for thirty-fvc
years been doing business in Moor
head, and, in all that time, has ever
been foremost in all things that have
had as their object the upbuilding and
the betterment of the city.
We refer to the firm of A. J. Wright
& Sons, who are manufacturers of
tents, awnings, porch curtains, etc.
Their trade mark is "The Wright
Kind" Is known to all, or most of
Our readers, and it stands for reli-
ability.
Our people can do no better than
support those concerns that have been
first in supporting propositions that
are for the benefit and publicity of
the city, and we can commend this
institution to the patronage of all our
readers, and we wish for them con-
tinued success and prosperity.
