Bowbells, North Dakota
DONOVAN DRUG co.

One of the old established leaders
among the stores of Bowbells is that
of the Donovan Drug Store, which
was established here eleven years ago.
In all particulars this is well-ap-
pointed drug store, well-stocked IN
a convenient location, and a popular
resort of the people, whether i'll or
we'll; for it contains many desirable
things for those that need no physl-
clan, while it dispenses panaceas or
cures for every human i'll or ache.
Here may be had a full and complete
line of drugs, the famous Nyall Rem
edies, sundries, cigars, tobaccos, mag
azines, hand-painted china, stationery,
confectionery, Grafanolas, Victrolas,
and a great many other things that
are usually sold in a drug store, with
a prescription department where pre-
scriptions are carefully compounded,
and where nothing but the best and
purest drugs and herbs are used.
Messrs. T. NJ and J. Donovan are the
courteous and enterprising proprietors
of this store, and they are deservedly
popular in the community. Remember
the Nyall Store, when next you are in
need of drug store.

One of the best institutions for the
maintenance and the welfare of the
community in Bowbells is that of the
meat market, and the unanimous ver-
dict is that Marshalrs Meat Market
is the best in the city. The maxim
that practice makes perfect applies as
we'll to the butcher and the meat mer-
chant as we'll as to all other trades and
professions. Geo. A. Marshall has
been in the meat business in Bowbells
since 1908, and his long experience
adds to his expert ability in Judging
of the food value of animals and of
all dressed meats Me makes daily
display of all choice beef, pork, veal,
lamb and mutton, also dressed poul-
try, fine smoked and fresh sausage,
and all the special delicacies of meat
trimming, with fresh fish of all kinds
in season. Mr.. Marshall is a man of
liberal generosity, progressive man
and a good citizen.

HOTEL RICHARDSON.

A good hotel we'll conducted is al
ways a place of enjoyment, but when
one is able to find building that
is modern, with good furnishings
and modern equipment, such as the
Hotel Richardson, one feels that the
acme of comfort and satisfaction is
reached. This hotel has been estab-
lished for the past thirteen years,
and is conducted on the American
plan and has a dining room service
which is complete in all details, and
which is one of most enjoyable fea-
lures of this hotel, featuring as it
does, always the best that the mar
ket affords in the way of eatables.
Mr.. H. L. Richardson, the courteous
and capable proprietor of this hotel,
is a hotel man of many years exper-
ience and knows the wants of his
guests, and sees to it that they are
supplied to the smallest detail Run
ner meets all trains and when next
you make this enterprising little city,
remember that the Hotel Richardson
is the hotel that will make your stay
worth while in the town.

DONOVAN BROS.

The hardware and furniture store
forms one of the leading features of
the mercantile business in Bowbells,

ground of Is by 90 feet, and does a
general hardware business, selling re-
tail. The store is we'll supplied with

larger city stores Messrs ]. and J.

prietors of this mammoth concern,
