PRADER, STICKNEY &
CRAWFORD.

Mr. Prader, of the present firm,
bought out the old business in 1897,
and after conducting it since that
time, went into partnership with the
firm name changed to Pradcr, Stick
ney & Crawford, on January /, 1915,
IN general line of merchandise The
store building of forty-two by fifty
six feet in size is we'll stocked with
a line which has considerable variety
and capacity for wide selection. Nat
urally, of course, the dry goods end of
the business is the first thought of,
and in this department we have prints,
muslins, ladies' ready to wear gar
ments, silks, satins, underwear, hats,
caps, boots and shoes, a limited sup
ply of mems furnishings, crockery,
glassware, and sundries in these de-
partments. Groceries take large
space in one end of the place, and the
trade in the edible portion of the
stock is building up nicely A neat
and utility stock of hardware occu-
pies portion of the shelving, while
the upstairs is devoted to extra stores
not kept in the regular storeroom.
The business in general is coming to
the front, and this steady, gradual
growth is directly due to the efforts
OF the three partners in not only
pleasing their customers with ready
service, but the giving of one hundred
cents on the dollar in value of goods
handled.

FARMERS & MER.
CHANTS BANK.

The capital stock of the Farmers
& Merchants Bank is $4,000, while
the surplus and undivided profits foot
up $4,000. The individual deposits
subject to check amount to $84, ,29247.
The total volume of business, that is,
adding up either resources or labili-
ties looms up as $306,079.93. Prob
ably the most pleasing figure of the
statement put out on March 4, 1915,
is the loans and discounts which show
$240,2O5.76 The Farmers & Mer-
chants was established in 1906, and
has with success conducted the gen.
eral, conservative banking business
expected of it from the start The
officers of the bank are as follows:
Chas. MacLachlan, president; J. ALL
maras, first vice PRESIDENT; Anton
Haas, second vice president; Z. R.
Davidson, cashier, and w. A. Zell-
mer, assistant cashier. The directors
are Messrs. MacLachlan, Allmaras,
Haas, Davidson, Daniel Patterson,
John F. Goss, and A. w. Johnson
Realizing at the first the potential
value of courtesy as one of banks
biggest assets, this bank has seen to
it that its employees are all men of
that stamp and who know the essen
tials of gentlemanly treatment of the

With population of close to 1000,
New Rockford is hourishing city
and the county seat of Eddy County,
North Dakota. 1t is located on the
N. P. and G. N. railways, which makes
it an exceptionally good shipping
Point. The c. N. Ry. have located
their new shops at New Rockford,
and this greatly adds to the payrolls
of the city, and was the means of
bringing many new residents to the
community.
New Rockford is situated on the
James river, and 140 miles northeast
of Fargo, in the famous James river
valley. The land in this valley is as
good as any in the state, and enor-
nous crops of small grains are raised
as we'll as all kinds of stock.
With good schools and churches,
three banks, an academy, good water
supply and sewers, New Rockford is a
desirable place of residence.
The city also has seven grain ele-
vators, feed and flour mills, two first
class hotels, machine shops, opera
house and gas plant.
The country tributary to New
Rockford ranks as one of the best
agricultural districts in the state, and
is being rapidly developed.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
OF NEW ROCKFORD.

"Time tried, panic tested" reads
the slogan at the top of the letterhead
of the First National Bank of New
Rockford. And this is true, indeed,
for the present institution has wealth
cred the storms of spasmodic adver-
sity and those of just common hard
times, with steady and unvarying pol
icy. This bank was established in the
year of 1902, and has been engaged
in the conducting of general bank
ing business since that time. Indi-
vidual deposits are solicited, time de-
posits draw all the interest the bank
can well afford to pay, a savings de-
partment is maintained for the bene-
fit of those who have the true spirit
of financial independence, while the
usual quota of foreign drafts, ex-
change, and miscellaneous detail are
found here in ample measure. The
capital is one of $4,000, with deposits
of $25O0OO, the latter being an espe-
cially fine figure in proportion to the
capitalization. Mr.. T. L. Beiseker is
vice president; w. M. Roberts, presi-
dent; and H. F. Riordan, cashier. The
business of all who have either check
ing, depositing, loans to procure, or
other matters of financial import to
transact, is earnestly solicited with
the assurance that, as in the past,
courtesy is the pre-eminent thought
born in mind by the officials of this
institution.

NEW ROCKFORD AUTO
MOBILE co.

In addition to handling the Paige
and Maxwell automobiles for this To-
cality, this firm also has the Fargo
agency for the Maxwell, selling in all
the surrounding territory about Far
go, as we'll as here in New Rockford.
The members of the company are DR..
2: L. Hughes, and Mr.. C. C.. Riordan
The local sales office is in the F.
Cooper garage and Dr. Hughes has
most of the handling of the vicinity
trade to look after personally, while
Mr.. Riordan swings the Fargo end
of the business. Together these two
gentlemen have turned many a page
in the life of the Paige automobile
Both are we'll known here and in
Fargo as progressive, live, up-to-the-
minute business men who know the
requirements of the territory in
which they reside. The great volume
of automobile business in the Dako-
tas has not left them unfavored by
any means, and neither of them has
any complaint to make on past pat
ronage or future prospects.

ST. JOHNS CHURCH, NEW ROCKFORD
INDEPENDENT e1 LUMBER BANK OF EdSS NEW ROCK

A general retail lumber business is
done by these people. The company
was organized two years ago the 1st
of January, being incorporated and
fully equipped to handle trade since
then. The area of ground space given
over to the yards covers some ten lots
in the city of New Rockford, and
this space is pretty we'll filled, too.
An immense supply of rough lumber
is at all times available, as there is
a constant inroad on this particular
side of the business, owing to the
building which is becoming more
prevalent in New Rockford and vicin-
ity as people in other districts come
to realize the advantages afforded in
living in or near this city. Timber
for joists, stills, beams, stanchions,
corner posting, etc, are among the
chief sellers. In dressed lumber for
sidings, porches, fnishings, and floors
there is the world and all to choose
from. The manufactured mill work
such as sashes, doors, Trainings, and
mouldings are to be had at a mo-
ment's notice. Delivery is made to
any part of the city and the more
nearby of the farming residences.
Mr.. John A. McCrum is president of
the company, and S. N Putnam, man
ager in charge. Both are widely
known and popular citizens and de-
rive benefit from this acquaintance.

J. G. MARX.

One of the best liked merchants
in New Rockford and one who has
been doing good reliable, and con-
servative business, is Mr.. Jno. c.
Marx, jeweler. You can enter his
place of business with the assurance
that no advantage will be taken of
you, but that only a decent and hon
est profit is made on goods pur-
chased. A neat and comprehensive
line of silverware, cut glass, optical
goods, and the like are displayed to
the best advantage in the cases, and
Mr. Marx does quite business in
helping the young hopefuls pick out
wedding presents for their friends:
The Edison phonograph sells we'll
from this store and though no rec
ords have been broken, is one of
the most satisfactory articles han
died. When perplexed to know what
to give, call on Mr.. Marx.

THE HOTEL MATTSON,

At one time, SO we understand, the
management of this hotel was not all
it could have been. But now times
have changed, and with Mr. A. w.
Johnson in charge and active super
vision, an immediate betterment has
been most evident. He took charge
in 1909, and has the hotel running
like clock work on the American plan
with all patrons more than satisfied.
There are thirty rooms in the Matt
dining room in connection. Runners
meet all trains, and the intention of
the management has been we'll car
ried out in making this hotel place
where transient and city dweller alike
will be glad to avail themselves of
the privilege of stopping at first
class place, whether by the day, week
or month.

NEW ROCKFORD
MACHINE SHOP.

If your automobile needs repairing,
take it to Olof Lundquist, proprietor
of the New Rockford Machine Shop.
All kinds of repairing are done here.
Oxy-acetylene welding, steam and
gasoline engines repaired, boilers of
every description, general machinery
": eakdowns given special attention,
It matters not what the trouble is, this
is the shop in which to have it taken
care of. A full line of threshers' sup
plies are also kept on sale at this
place, as we'll as automobile parts and
accessories. Mr.. Lundquist went into
business in 1898, and he now has just
about all he can do to handle the in
creasing demand for repairing of all
sorts. Very few men can do this
work we'll. Mr.. Lundquist is one of
those few. He is the friend of your

RED CROSS PHARMACY.

Mr.. D. C. Miller is proprietor of the
Red Cross Pharmacy, which was es-
tablished here in New Rockford in
the year of 1910 The big speciality
is done in drugs and sick room sup
plies, and the reliable nature of the
work done at this pharmacy, together
with the careful painstaking care in
the putting up of prescriptions, has
achieved deal toward the present
standing in the respect of the COM
munity The usual additional stock
which has come to be recognized as
a part of the successful drug store is
to be procured at this place. By this
we mean the accessory lines such as
Eastman Kodaks, Palmers' Perfumes,
Johnstons' Chocolates, a varied line
OF cigars and tobaccos, the soda foun-
tain which is particularly we'll
equipped for handling a clean critical
trade, and a fair assortment of the
notions and sundries of various kinds.
10 those who contemplate residing in
New Rockford, we would recommend
the Red Cross Pharmacy as a good
place to become acquainted with and
one that can be depended upon when
service is needed.

The Bank of New Rockford came
into existence in the year 1883, and
bears the proud distinction of being
the oldest bank in Eddy county. This
bank adheres to a policy somewhat
unique in banking circles, but one of
most praiseworthy significance. 1t
works to the advancement of all in
terests in Eddy County, and loans
money to so advance the prosperity
of the territory thus described, but,
and here is the case in point-it does
not loan a dollar outside of its own
territory The capital of the Bank of
New Rockford is listed at $35,0O0, in
cluding surplus. Time deposits bring
six per cent interest to the depositor,
which is a very fine interest as read
lily understood by those who are cog
infant of some of the intricacies of
banking The personal attention and
kindly courtesy displayed by the Of
ficials of this bank is feature which
many other banks in far larger cities
would do we'll to initiate. The Of
fcers are as follows: John J. Carle-
ton, president; B. Simonitch, vice
president; Harry c. Sexton, vice
president; E. w. Beardsley, cashier;
and E. P. Dafoe, assistant cashier.
The depositor who seeks information
on financial matters, either pertaining
to his personal business or that di-
rectly with the bank, is always cor
daily welcomed to receive gratis the

ALPINE GUIDES.
Some Are Experts In Snow and les
Work, Others In Rock Work.

Some of the Alpine guides are
experts in climbing. There are 3
number who are noted for their
skill in what the Alpinist calls
"snow and ice work" That means
going up a peak which has so many
snow fields and glaciers that its
sides and SUBMITS may be nearly
covered with them.
The glacier guide can tell you all
about cornices - snow masses
which project from the edge OF
precipices and overriding the valley
beneath like the roof of a house.
Experience has told him whether a
cornice can be crossed safely OF
whether it may break off if one ven
lures upon it. He is also an ex-
pert with the ice ak carried in his
belt, cutting footholdS in the gilt
tering walls that may rise fifty or a
hundred feet above your head.
These ice precipices are frequently
found at the heads of glaciers,
which, as the schoolboy knows, are
merely rivers of frozen water slow
ly moving down the face of a noun
tain on account of the force of
gravity and the great pressure of
the ice masses which form their
source on the upper part of the
slope.
Other guides make a speciality of
rock work" conducting persons up
peaks which may be only partly
covered with snow and ice, but hav-
ing sides of bare rock so steep that
in places the cliffs may be almost
straight up and down. Here il
would seem that one must be as
spry and as sure footed as the
chamois-the are goat that lives
up amid the Alps.
While the crevasse and other dan
gers of the snow and ice fields may
be absent, the mountain may be SO
abrupt that the climber must ascend
hundreds of feet, pulling himself
up with arms aiding his legs, while
often the guide hauls him to the
top of the most difficult slopes by
main strength.--St. Nicholas.
