CITIZENS BANK OF
KENMARE.

This bank was established in 1906,
and has had its part to play in the
settlement and development of this
part of the state of North Dakota,
and to say that it has played it's part
we'll and faithfully would not tell half
the story. The almost phenomenal
growth of the western part of the
state is due in large sense to the
exceptional banking facilities offered
by our banking institutions, which are
so helpful to the betterment OF every
commercial and business condition.
The Citizens Bank, with a capital of
$25,COO and total resources of $1OO, 1000,
has always been foremost in assist
ing every project that means the
growth and stability of the commun-
ity, as we'll as offering every assistance
to all worthy industrial enterprises.
1t conducts general banking busi-
ness and invites accounts, either
checking or savings. On June 5th of
this year the bank changed manage
ment, Mr.. w. E. Feeney, of Maple
Lake, Minn., and Thos. Madigan, also
Of that city, purchasing the control
ling interest. These gentlemen are
bankers of long standing and expert
ence, and have large holdings in Min
nesota and North Dakota. They plan
to make the Citizens Bank of Ken
mare one of the leading financial in
stitutions of the Northwest The Of
hcers are as present constituted: w.
E. Feeney, president; Thos Madigan,
vice president, and S. L. Kleve,
cashier.

KENMARE NATIONAL
BANK.

One of the most dependable of the
worthy banking institutions of the
county is that of the Kenmare Ma
tional Bank, which was established in
1902. 1t has had a splendid growth
every year, and it is an institution that
enjoys the confidence of the people.
1t does general banking business,
and is county and state depository.
Its management is conservative, being
in the hands of men we'll known and
responsible citizens of experience and
ability in financial and business af-
fairs. The capital stock of this bank
is $4,000, and it has surplus of $751;
900. The organization comprises J.
N. Fox, president; P M. Cole, vice
president; H. P. Thomson, cashier; G..
q. Shepherd, assistant cashier. Our
readers will find this bank safe, sound
and reliable, and an institution of
wholesome influence in the commun-
ity, and the officers, gentlemen with
whom it is pleasure to have business
dealings with. Intending investors in
this vicinity will find it to their ad-
vantage to get into communication
with the Kenmare National, and all
inquiries will be cheerfully answered.

THE FARMERS & MER.
CHANTS BANK.

One of the steady going and reliable
banking and business organizations of
the western part of North Dakota is
that of the Farmers & Merchants
Bank, of Kenmare, which was estab-
lished in 1908, and has had a singu
larly successful career. This is
strictly home institution, as all the
officers and the directors are local
people, and the management has been
committed to men who are reliable,
responsible and able fnanciers, in all
senses of the word. The bank does
general banking business in all it's
many branches, and it has been in
strumental in helping to build up the
city and county to a marked degree.
1t has been throughout its career
sound business institution, prosperous
and influential in behalf of the people
and the community, and has ever sus-
tanned the public spirited enterprise
inaugurated by its organizers. These
gentlemen are widely known and uni
versally esteemed for their business
ability, their personal character, and
their prudent methods in business
and banking. The officers are: ]. L.
Wemark, president; Geo. E. Child,
vice-president; A. G. Engdahl, cashier,
and Henry c. Dahl, assistant cashier.

KENMARE CASH STORE

Established in 1908 in small build
ing of 20 by 40 feet, the Kenmare
Cash Store has grown to be now one
of the largest and certainly one of
the best general stores in the state of
North Dakota. From the small be-
ginning of an $4,000 per year business
it has grown to be store that last
year did over $4,000, and considering
the limited population from which it
has to draw from. This is truly
marvellous showing and probably can
not be duplicated in this section of
the state, at least The man who has
been responsible for this great show
ing in the mercantile line is Mr.. Lewis
KnudsOn, merchant that has made
good in every sense of the word. The
present magnificent quarters of this
concern occupy, what is, in reality
two-part store, one of u by 100 feet,
and the other of p by 80 feet, with a
frontage of so feet. In this emporium
of trade will be found everything that
can be had in the larger city depart
ment stores, embracing large stocks
in dry goods, clothing, dress goods,
ladies' ready to wear, underwear,
silks, laces, ETC., and mems clothing,
with the celebrated Kuppenheimer
brands as leader; Arrow shirts and
collars, a full line of Stetson hats,
Munsing underwear and many other
leading brands of furnishings for men
and boys. Florsheim shoes for men,
Selby shoes for ladies, and Baby
Budd shoes for children, are also lead
ers in the shoe line. In the grocery
department will be found full line
of the leading staple and fancy gro
ceries, which will be found to satisfy
the most exacting housewife. In fact,
in all lines this store will be found
to have the leaders, and the best
brands at prices that are as low as
the lowest. Too much credit cannot
be given the proprietor for giving the
community such an opportunity to en-
joy a store that would be a credit to
a metropolis, and the Irish Standard
wishes to commend the Kenmare
Cash Store to its readers.

KENMARE STEAM
LAUNDRY.

The steam laundry, with it's posi-
bilities of unlimited expansion, it's
equipment of machinery, it's forces of
expert operators, and it's improved
methods of cleaning, is as surely one
of the essential developments of mod
ern civilization as the telephone, the
auto and the aeroplane. AS regards
the steam laundry the city of Ken
mare has a splendid example in that
of the Kenmare Steam Laundry,
which began operations about three
years ago and has filled a long-felt
want in the community This laun-
dry is conveniently located, does fine
work and is distinct aid to the peo-
pie of the city. Mr.. C. f. Blood is
the courteous and accommodating
proprietor and manager of this con-
Germ, and knows the laundry business
in all it's many Details The laundry
is we'll equipped with modern machin-
cry and devices for fine laundry and
family wash. He employs force of
men and women who are experts at
the business, and our readers will find
this concern one that will give them
very good service and satisfaction.

Kenmare, located in the northwest
ern part of North Dakota is pros
porous little city with about 1900 in
habitants 1t is located on the banks
of the Middle Des Laos Lake, which
makes its location very picturesque
Its business men are young and
progressive and the stocks of mer-
chandise carried by it's merchants
would speak we'll for town two or
three times its population. The city
has one of the best public school sys-
TENS in the state, six churches and
modern and thoroughly equipped hos
pital. The city has a complete sewer
and water system, oiled streets and
modern White Way System.
The valley in which the city is To-
Gated has numerous mines of a very
high grade of Ignite coal which
makes the solution of the fuel ques-
ton very simple.
1t would be hard to find a better
farming country in the state than that
which is tributary to Kenmare. The
soil is heavy black loan with clay
sub-soil and the we'll improved farms
which are we'll stocked will convince
the stranger of the fertility of the soil
and the prosperity of the community.
Lands can still be had at a figure
within the reach of person with linn
tied means, though the price is ad-
vancing rapidly.
All nationalities are represented in
the Kenmare territory and for any
outsider looking to improve his con-
dition, he will make no mistake by
writing to any citizen in this locality.

Catholic Birth Rate.

Commenting upon the birth rate in
New York city, where it is shown
that, according to nationality, the Ca
tholic birth rate is the highest in the
city, the New York Sun said re-
Gently:
"Another interesting point in this
report is of sociological significance,
since it illustrates most forcibly the
influence of religious training. In the
Summary of Number of Birth, Ac-
cording to Nationalities, the follow
ing figures are instructive: The birth
rate among Germans was 11.61, among
French 13.45, among English 1900,
among Irish 2695, among Italians
1872, among Russians and Poles 47.62,
among Austro-Hungarians 1888,
thousand families. These figures show
conclusively that parents of Catholic
nationalities furnish the larger incre-
ment of population in this city. The
difference is so large, the average be-
ing 1850 among the Catholic to 14O5
in Protestant nationalities, that it
must prove of the utmost significance
to the social and political economist,
especially if the comparative infre-
quency of divorce among the former
class be considered"

Selection of place to buy food for
