WlLLMAR BRICK COMPANY.

Located mile and q half from
town, on the Great Northern, is the
Willmar Brick yard, which manufac-
lures brick and tile to sell to farmers
throughout this community. It was
first started in 1887, southwest of
town by Delbom Samuelson, but the
clay supply ran out there, SO it was
moved to it's present location. The
present proprietors are L. Fridlund,
N. N. Flykt, the latter being the ac-
tive manager of the concern.
At this brick yard, all sizes of drain
tile are sold, also brick and hollow
brick for building purposes. On ac-
count Of the excellent quality of clay
which they use, all their manufac-
tured products are durable, and the
demand for them comes from thru
out this section of the state and the
Dakotas. In burning their brick and
tile, they use both the down draft kiln
and the Scove method of burning.
Next spring they will install an oil
burning system, which will be Tar
more economical than wood.
There are twenty-five men in the
employ Of this brick company, and
ever since they were established, the
demand for their products has been
greater than the supply, so they have
always been pushed to their full capa.
city.
Messrs, Fridlund and Flykt have
shown themselves capable men to

strikes the visitor most is the strict
cleanliness, which is maintained
throughout the place. Everything in

takes pride In showing any citizen of

is peculiarly fortunate. No where

There are few cities more blessed
with houses of worship than Willmar.
Here stranger may follow the die.
tates Of his own conscience, and at
tend his own church, for all denomina-
tions are represented. And what is
far better than that, all the congre-
cations are healthy in spirit sense,
and growing in the good work.
In addition to the regular church
services, Sunday schools and other
auxiliaries are always open to the Wis
itor, and he finds spirit of enthus-
iasm that will at once excite his own
interest and admiration. The follow

mess man in Willmar would put forth
some one effort out Of the ordinary in

WHAT A NEWSPAPER:
se-ssDo DoEs FOR A TOWN

=. The value of live, energetic news.
paper to any town or city is absolute
ly impossible of estimation. There are
so many ways that the good news
paper promotes the interest of the
city and the individual citizens where
it is published that it would be like
trying to number the sands of the
sea to enumerate them. It is the true
friend Of the city or town and every
resident thereof stands ready to fight
the battles even of individual citizens
in a way that no other agency has
either the nerve or the courage to do.
It stands as a great bulwark Of de-
Tense for the city and for the people.
But this is only one feature.
There's another that is seldom CIV
en- much thought and that is that the
newspapers Of any town or city are a
paying investment for such place as
industrial institutions. People vel.
come with open arms and loud &C
claim any factory costing a few thou
sand dollars and they think the town
is wonderfully fortunate in securing a
plant that will give employment to q
number of people. Sometimes they
even put up bonus to secure such
a plant. There are many newspapers
which give employment to a number
of people, and nothing is thought oil
it. The money that comes to the pa
pers is spent in the town or city where
it is published. None Of it goes away
except for ink and paper and some
other small supplies that cannot be
bought at home. The newspaper /:
essentially a home institution.
works day and night to build up it
home town and state, and spends tt
money freely with home people. It Il
published on strict business principles
these days, and that is the reason To-
the growth and prosperity that ha'
come to many papers during the pas
few years. ~....
AS a business enterprise, a goo,
newspaper is about the best industr.
that any town has, and It's publisher
