life.
H. S. Halverson, the present owner and
manager, is a comparatively young man but
in his three years residence here has proven
himself a live wire. He was born on a farm
near Battle Lake, Mimi, in 1882 the son of
Mr. and Mrs. S. Halverson He received his
education in the Battle Lake public schools
and for some time was station agent for the
Northern Pacific at that place and also
travelling passenger agent. 1t was while in
that employ that the store here was estab-
lished About the same time Mr.. HaNerson
decided to give his time to assisting in the
management of the family stores and in turn
went to Underwood, GAINESVILLE and Thief
River Falls. Three years ago he came here.
Besides his interest in the Halverson stores
he is also interested in extensive land hold
ings. He is a member of the Commercial club
and of the Masonic fraternity. Mr.. Halver-
son is married and lives on Main between
Fifth and Sixth streets.

LAWRENCE HAL
VERSION, DENTIST

Dr. Lawrence Halverson, dentist, is one of
the latest additions to the professional ranks
of Sank Centre business men and in his few
months of residence and practice here has
met with every promise of a successful
career. DR.. Halverson is deserving of sue
cess because he expended unusual energy and
gave an unusual application to study of his
professional calling. Records of the dental
college of the University of Minnesota will
show that DR.. Halverson, who graduated in
1915, stood at the head of his class by mar
gin that was unapproached. AS matter of
fact DR.. Halverson had nearly twice as many
credits to his record as the second best stu
dent in his class Several of his instructors
have gone on record as proclaiming DR.. Hal
version one of the most proficient and capable
dentists ever turned out of the University

lege with exceptional inducements, as spur.

other departments will be added to the full capacity
of the store building. When the store is entirely
stocked, Mr. Kopman says it will contain every de-
partment featured by the big city department stores
but naturally not in such quantities. Knockers will
wlther when they come in contact with Mr. Kopman.
Though he has been a resident here only a month
he fairly exudes business enthusiasm and optimisn.
He pronounces Sank Centre the best business town Of
its size which he has ever known. He bases his be-
lief not only on his own business experience-his
sales having grown from the very day of opening
but upon observation of business done by other
houses in every line. He declares that any person
who states that Sank Centre is poor business town
knocks maciousy and without basis of fact. So
imbued is Mr.. Kopman with business possibilities
here that not only has he taken long lease the
store building which he occupies and has stocked,
but has also taken a long lease the handsome
Pendergast home in Brooklyn and has brought his
wife and two children here to make their future
home In addition, his brother Louie Kopman, will
arrive to enter with him in the wholesale hand
ling of poultry. The Kopman store at present is
not nearly stocked but goods constantly arriving
and going up the shelves
