SIMON BROS.

A concern that has been doing busi-
ness for fifteen years since its organi
zation that time ago. General mer-
chandise is the line handled and it is
one of completeness of stock and
knowledge and discernment of the
needs and wants of the city of Monte
video and the adjacent farming coun-
try tributary to it. A general line of
dry goods, such as laces, silks, prints,
corsets, ladies' ready-to-wear gar
ments, mems clothing, haberdashery,
and all the accessory notions of wear
for men, women and children, not to
speak of an especially fine line of
shoes. The grocery department is one
of the best around here, and in sea-
son the cleanest and highest quality of
vegetables and farm products are al
ways kept on hand. The highest price
is paid for chickens, butter, eggs, etc.,
to the farmers, and this phase of the
business is a constantly growing one.
The officers of the company are J. A.
Simons, w. H. Simons, and R. E. ST.
mons, the firm being owned and op-
Grated both by the Simon family. The
interior of the store is we'll appointed
and the counters, cases, shelving, and
display racks such as to afford quick
selection with an easily acquired
knowledge of the stock. A clean cut,
comprehensive stock all the way
through and one of quality and rea-
sonable price.

CHIPPEWA MILLING
COMPANY.

An incorporated company is the
Chippewa Milling Company, and it is
one in which the grinding of hard
spring wheat flour is speciality.
Monteota Special Short Patent Flour
is the we'll recognized product turned
out by this concern. and those who
have used it we'll know it's superior
quality and recommendations of it's
own to the bread eating public. The
first name of the brand is combina-
ton of the words Montevideo and
Minnesota. Five years ago was the
company organized, and the mill ca
pacity is one of four hundred bar
rels per day. Dealing in grain, buying
and selling is conducted at all times.
The sale of flour and grain is handled
all over the entire state and is busi-
ness which gives every promise of a
large future. If friend wife has never
tried Monteota Special Short Patent
Flour, urge her to get sack and try
it out. Then she'll know how good
it is, just as we do ourselves. It's
the flower of the flock among fours
manufactured in this section of the
country, and we'll worth your serious
consideration. One can't help being
we'll bred when he breaks his fast on
this flour which is ground out by the
merry miller who lives by the mill.

TROY STEAM LAUNDRY.

Mr.. H. L. Hamilton is the proprie-
tor of the Troy Steam Laundry and
has had it in successful operation for
seven years, during which time the
good citizens of Montevideo have
been unusually imma culate and fresh
appearing, arrayed as they are in neat
white fronts, spotless collars, and with
crisp linen from head to foot. All
general laundry work is here per-
formed, and rough dry work, or the
more highly finished is alike given
careful attention and the benefit of the
most modern of machinery and COM
plete equipment. Out of town work
is one of the features, and various
of the smaller towns nearby Mon
tevideo ship and receive laundry from
the Troy Laundry. Telephone '25' is
the number that puts you in touch
with the cleanup concern, and it is
we'll to remember. Cleanliness is
next to goodness, and here it is to
be hade for very reasonable price.
Mr.. Hamilton feels we'll satisfied with
the business he is doing and knows
the Olivia people appreciate the SER

MOYER MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY.

This is one of the largest and most
pretentious concerns located in the
city of Montevideo. The range of its
activities are not confined to local
radius, but radiate out far beyond the
limits of the city, county or locality,
taking in the great Northwest for a
scope of territory and sometimes even
going out of this. The line is one in
which to date there is not a deal of
competition owing to the progressive
ness and newness of the idea together

with its requiring so extensive facili-
ties and equipment in the construction
of product. Sanitary barn equipment
and steel farm gates are manufactured
to meet the exigencies of the modern,
typically enterprising farmer who
wants the safest. the best, and the
acme of quality in his outbuildings,
and all structures on the place. 1t
makes no difference what particular
part of the farm that the sanitary
steel appliance or utility is desired
for it can either be furnished at once,
or made up with great speed and
promptness. The product makes
neat, sanitary, easily handled, germ
less, enduring structure no matter
where placed, and it's advantages over
those of wood are so obvious as to
need no amplifcation. The executive
staff of this company is: NJ. B.
Meyer, general manager; D. L.
Schneider, sales manager; H. w.
Popp, superintendent The corporate
officers are: Malcolm B. Meyer,
PRESIDENT; Elias Jacobson, vice-presi-
dent, and Lloyd G. Meyer, secretary
and treasurer. This is considerable
of commercial enterprise, and one
can hardly grasp the significance of
it and the concrete merit and advan-
tages of it's use until he has gone
through the plant and then seen the
product in operation in it's niche on
the farm.

In the year of 1869 the city of Mon
tevideo was first settled. The settlers
kept coming in with steady stream un-
til the year of 1879, when Montevideo
was incorporated as village. The To-
cation of Montevideo is approximately
one hundred and thirty-three miles
west of Minneapolis, fourteen miles
northwest of Granite Falls, and situ-
ated at the confluence of the Chippewa
river with that of the Minnesota. This
city is the county seat of Chippewa
county, and has the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and St. Paul Railway running
through it. In Montevideo there are
seven churches, all of good construc-
ton, some of them of superb con-
struction; the Catholic being in this
latter class. One of the largest of the
manufacturing industries in Monte
video is that of the Meyer Manufacture
ing Company, manufacturers of sani-
tary barn equipment and steel gates,
etc. The commercial club does its
full duty by town and community and
is busy whenever there is doing to be
done, in pushing and showing hard
with one shoulder against the wheel
of progression and boosting power.
Then there is canning factory, four
banks of financial importance and sta
bility; two creameries, of busy nature;
four grain elevators, showing the crop
raising tendencies of this region; a
splendid seminary which elicits the
admiration of all who go through it;
hospital of character and excellence
of skill in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
plant that takes care of the material
lustre from the city of Montevideo; a
water works that is an acme of eff
cheney; four newspapers, which is a
good many for city of this size; a
cracking good general merchandise
store in that of Simon Bros; hum
mer of flour mill in that operated by
the Chippewa Milling Company; a
laundry of indefatigability in keeping
the citizens of Montevideo in a spot
less condition as regards their linen,
bearing the name of the Troy Laun-
dry, and various smaller concerns that
each and all do their share toward the
commercial life and upbuilding of this
part of the country. The population
of Montevideo runs close to thirty
five hundred people, and practically
all of them are we'll to do and in
state of economic independence.
From Montevideo goes forth ship
ments of grain, live stock, canned
goods, farm produce, and lesser prod
ucts. Farming land around Monte
video, sells for from $50 to 500 per
acre, and is mighty good land, too, as
anyone who has passed throug gh this
section will not hesitate to tell you.
It is great location for the man who
is looking for a place where his re-
turns will be commensurate with the
efforts put forth. Most of us want
this kind of location, and here it is
to be had for the trouble. When you
think of pulling up stakes and NOV
ing, look over the country in and
around Montevideo and see if it does
not meet with your approval.

be made to appear that with regard to
any commodity commodities, the eN
isting rates do not afford the carriers
proper compensation for the services
they perform. and the risk imposed

that the rates on such commodities
might properly be increased in a sutti-
cient amount to properly compensate
the carriers for their added risk and
liability Where rates arc lawfully
based upon declared values. the differ
