Oakes, North Dakota

Oakes is the largest city in Dlckey
county, and has population of about
1900 inhabitants. 1t has four 1nde-
pendent railway connections, which
insures to it's merchants very keen
competition in the matter of it's
freight rates. The merchants Of this
thriving little city are very progress
sive set of business men, and as good
stores will be found here as in cities
many times it's size, with large and
very up-to-date stocks of goods 1t
has fine streets, good schools, public
and private, first class banks, electric
lights, sewers, and is a modern city
in all particulars. The land adjacent
to Oakes is very productive, and
bumper crops are the rule and not
the exception in this vicinity. Cen
orally the soil is of black loan with
a clay subsoil, and not more than
five per cent of the soil of the whole
county is untitled for agricultural pur-
poses, and this only by reason of its
too rolling surface formatiOn and
this is valuable on account of the
rich native grasses with which it is
covered. Oakes is the home of the
St. Charles Catholic School, one of
the best of it's kind in the state. A
-four mill with a capacity of $50 bar
rels of flour day is one of the lead
ing industrial plants of the city, and
this, together with other industries,
gives the city a very good, substan-
tial payroll.
There is room here in the city and
county for good men to come and
make a home, where the air is pure,
the climate is of the best, and where
good schools and churches abound.
Write the commercial club for infor-
nation about Oakes and vicinity.

PIONEER MERCANTILE
co.

The Pioneer Mercantile Company
was established in the spring of 1894,
and was incorporated in 1905. A
general line of merchandise is retailed
such as dress goods, silks, boys
knickers, woolen goods, ladies' ready
to wear garments, underwear, mems
furnishings, boots and shoes, grocer
les, fruits, tobaccos and cigars, with
the bulk of the one-piece trading done
in mems clothing, in which the cele-
brated Kuppenheimer and Styleplus
are carried and sold to a great extent.
The inside of the store space is SO ar
ranged as to give the greatest pos
sible amount of service consistent
with the large stock carried. Trade
flows in from the rich territory ad
joining Harvey, and from the city
ITSELF The officers of the company
are as follows: John Jorgenson,
president and general manager; John
J. Stendahl, secretary and treasurer;
while Mr.. c. Iverson has been in the
firm and incorporation since 1900 in
the capacities of vice president and
assistant general manager. Like
other towns in the state of North
Dakota, Harvey possesses an un-
usually good buying public, and the
coordination of good buyer with
good merchant always reacts for
profit on both sides, as well as sat-
isfaction.

C.. H. BLANDING HARD
WARE co.

The general hardware firm above
mentioned is incorporated for $4,000,
and retails just about everything in
the hardware line, as we'll as several
feature departments. Supplementary
to the regular lines of shelf and heavy
hardware, with stoves, ranges, paints,
oils, and case stock, this company has
the selling of Ford, Dodge, and Cadil-
lac automobiles. Then there is a
sporting goods department that is
more of feature than customary
with hardware dealers. A small line
of furniture is also kept on hand with
considerable success Carpets for the
home, and harness making and sad
dlery prove their value by steady
moving qualities, as we'll as the adver-
tising value which they bring. I'm
dertaking is done in one part OF the
building, which is a good 50 by llO
feet in size, with two floors in which
to distribute the we'll varied depart
ments. C. H. Blanding is president
of the company and M. L. Blanding,
secretary and treasurer. The per-
sonnel of the firm has more bearing
on the growing trade than in the or
dinary case, owing to the regard IN
which, it is held.
The Irish standard., 1915-09-01
PURE FOOD STORE.

The Pure Food Store is owned and
conducted by Mr.. F. A. Espeland,
proprietor, who has been in business
here in Oakes for six years. The
main lines are staple and fancy gro
ceries, and fruits in season. In fur
therance of the foregoing, let us say
that this includes smoked meats, vege-
tables, Sunshine Biscuits, Empress
and Nokomis Coffee, Nokomis Tea,
Daniel Webster and Gold Coil Flour,
Cheer-up Pancake Flour, Cheer-up
Breakfast food, together with the va
ried fruits as shipped from time to
time In addition, the patron can Sc
cure Lion Brand Shirts, overalls,
crockery, underwear, and many little
knick knacks that are so highly es-
sential at times. The cigar and to-
bacco department is just beginning to
show signs of life. and although it is
hard to feature this kind of an ar
ticle in a general supply line, still, it
is being DONE Drop in and purchase
some of your household eating spe-
calties of Mr.. Espeland. Others are
doing it, and if you want courteous
service on good things to eat, you
have made no mistake.

LANcWoRIaY tn LUMBER

"Our name behind every piece"
A slogan for good business and mean
ing the class of dealer it pays to trade
with. The Langworthy yard has been
here in Harvey for twelve years, and
occupies five lots in the city: 1t is
one that commands consideration
whene'er one thinks of buying lum-
Der material of any kind. Rough and
dressed lumber, sashes, doors, and all
varieties of manufactured mill lum-
Der. Coal is handled and retailed in
connection, while these people also
sell the Buick car. Plaster, lime,
shingles, lath, and so on down the
line of complete building material.
Strict adherence to satisfaction has
been the keyword in the business,
and it is yielding returns in repeat
ers who always come back, after the
first purchase.

JAMES M. WEBB.

"The Rexal1 Drug Store,' says the
neat little sticker which finds itself af-
fixed to most everything that goes out
of this place. But besides being agent
for the Rexall remedies, there are
many other things of use and neces-
sity found here. A large sized line OF
drugs is of course predominant. Toilet
water, perfume, other toilet articles,
Eastman Kodaks, films, stationery,
fountain pens, cigars, tobaccos, rub
Der goods, chocolates, shaving sup
plies, strops, sporting goods, wall pa
per, and a vast amount of stock which
space forbids Our naming. An attrac-
tive soda fountain is herein installed
and does a rushing business at all
times during the hot months. Every
town has place wherein goods Of the
more special and tasty variety can be
found. The James NJ. Webb drug
store is the place of this kind in the
city of Oakes. There is always
major portion of the stock which is in
season, and as a result the trade is
steady and constant
North Dakota has $1,000 square
miles Of land underlaid with 5OO,OOO,-
100000 tons of the highest grade lig-
mite coal. This coal is now being sold
commercially in briqueted form and
competing with the highest grade east

ties.

HARVEY MEAT MARKET.

This firm is successor to that of
Kageth Bros, who founded the busl-
ness in 1908. Mr.. Hugo Eberlein is
the present owner and proprietor, and
has done much to improve and stimu-
late trade in the meat line All meats,
fresh, salted, and smoked are at the
command of Harvey residents, who
have found it immensely to their ad-
vantage to improve their acquaint-
ance with this thriving market.
Speedy delivery is made to the house
hold, and many times the good house
wife when up tree for something a
little more palatable than the ordi-
nary, has found it both conyenient
and satisfying to call up the Harvey
Meat Market and provide for the
home supper table, When you really
relish a bit of meat it undoubtedly
will come from Mr.. Eberlein's shop!
