Fargo, the largest city in the state
of North Dakota, long since adopted
for itself the title, The Biggest Lit
tie City in the World" and it's citi
zens and business men have seen to it
that it's right to the title has remained
undisputed To measure this city by
its population would leave the stran-
ger with very inadequate idea of its
industrial and commercial importance.
While its population is but slightly in
excess of 10000, the volume of it's
business would reflect creditably on
city of twice that number. Served as
it is by three important trans-COnt1-
mental railroads, its distributing facil-
tiles are ample, proving so attractive
to large distributors as to compel the
building of large warehouses by all
the important farm machinery manu-
facturers, the volume of whose busi-
ness in Fargo is rated at $l4,OOO,OOO
annually. The Standard Oil company,
employing sixty people, maintains one
of its largest distributing depots here;
the Ford Motor company has found
it necessary to erect a mammoth
warehouse to properly care for its
business in this territory; all the prin-
cipal meat packing companies main
tain storage and distributing plants,
and in fact few lines of business hav-
ing trade in the Dakotas or Montana
are not represented in Fargo by
distributing warehouse. The fact that
local capital is behind the majority of
the wholesale houses of Fargo assures
the permanency of their location and
presages we'll for the city's future de-
velopment.
While not to any marked degree a
manufac turing center, list of some
fifty industries of this nature with
an annual output of $6,0OO,000 forms
a nucleus that Fargo's wellknown
push and enterprise will eventually
develop to a degree that will entitle
it to rank as manufacturing as we'll
as a distributing center. The fidu-
ciary institutions that serve the in.

THE JOHNSON CON-
STRUCTION co.

By their works shall ye know them.
And this is ample proof thereof in the
case at hand The Johnson Construc-
ton Company has a record which
speaks for itself. Over fifteen years
in the general construction work,
chief among the buildings which this
company has erected stand the Court
House at Fargo, the Dairy and Chem
istry buildings at the North Dakota
Agricultural College (the finest two
buildings on the campus), the Fargo
Mercantile Company building, the
Swift and Company building, and
many smaller or less pretentious
structures which nevertheless have de-
manded care and scientific calculation
in the operation of erecting Tile,
marble, and terrazzo floors are placed
by the Johnson folks, and a whole
sale and retail building material sup
ply is carried on the year through.
Over sixty employees are engaged in
active labor for this contracting firm
and the constant flow of estimates to
and from their office on 223 Front
Street is highly indicative of the prog
ress being made by this live, up to
snuff bunch of hustlers. At the pres
cnt writing, Mr.. Nels Ellison is presi-
dent, J. E. Hendrickson, vice presi~
dent, and c. N. Jensen, secretary
treasurer. AS a contemporary put it
when speaking of them the other day:
"You sure have got to hit the ball
to stay in their league when it comes
to building"

FARGO ICE CREAM &
DAIRY co.

The Fargo Ice Cream & Dairy Co.
first came into existence eight years
ago. This firm is widely and favor
ably known through their justly ia
nous "Purity" Brand Butter, "Purity"
Ice Cream, and "Purity" Bottled Milk
and Cream. Their manufacturing
and jobbing trade is in soda fountains,
fruit syrups, crushed fruits, glassware,
fountain supplies, and Johnson's 'Vel-
vet' Ice Cream. Shipping in these
products extends over the entire
state and the clean, sanitary methods
employed in manufacture have much
to do with the ever increasing popu-
larity. About forty individuals are
busy at handling and making the
goods, and the three floors of the 50x
20 building literally throng with hur-
rying workers in this hive of industry
One is impressed with the precautions
taken in regard to the insistence upon
absolute purity and sanitation which
is in evidence from top to bottom.
The trade name of "Purity' is most
apt and fttingly describes the prod
uct in manufacture.

FARGO.DETROIT ICE co.

This company was incorporated in
June, 1908, and has been "cutting-up'
Gce) ever since. A wholesale and
retail business is prosecuted with the
available supply being taken from the
Detroit Lake, and the Red river The
storage capacity in Fargo is 10000
tons, and the same amount can be
stored at Detroit Lake. The loading
capacity at Detroit Lake is $500 to
5000 tons daily loaded in cars. Dur
ing the cutting season over one hum
dred and eighty men are kept on the
job, while in summer about forty-fve
men and twenty teams all told handle
the distribution work. The Fargo
Detroit Ice Company also handles

post of $8,OOO,0O0, with a combined
capital and surplus of 81 ,321 900, and
reported clearings for 1914 of $57,711,-
498.59, evidencing a loaning capacity
capable of caring for the needs of
large industrial community.
The civic and social side of the city
is just as attractive as the commercial
and industrial, each, as it were, having
in measure developed the other.
The city is governed by commits
sion form of government, a board of
education, and park board. Its busi-
ness streets are lighted by tlve-lamp
white way system and paved with
brick and Creosote blocks. Its busi-
ness blocks all bear the imprint of
permanency and are all fully occu-
pied. Not an empty store and
scarcely an empty office is the usual
record The residence district is we'll
lighted by an arc light system and
fully so per cent of the residence
streets are paved. Its transient popu-
lation, estimated at 1,50O daily, is
cared for by thirty hotels with a to-
tai of 1000 rooms. The street rail-
way system serves all parts of the
city on the loop plan with twenty
minute service. There are los acres
of park property besides three play
grounds. The parks are well-kept
and equipped with the usual tennis
courts, baseball diamonds, swings,
wading pools, etc. The water supply
furnished by a filtration plant and
pumping station costing $25O,OOO, is
adequate for city twice its size. The

Moorhead, it has nine educational in
stitutions with an enrolment of over
5000 students, added to which should
be noted 1000 pupils in the city
schools.

supplementary. Exclusively a whole
sale grocery business is done and this
firm is the state distributorfo the Yale
line of cigars, and Royal Banner ci-
gars. The proprietary brands, such
as Dolly Warden, Diamond Sheaf, Ar
good, and Red Cord, are all handled
by them. The office at Broadway and
Fourth Avenue North is compara

cupied recently. The outlook is
bright for consistent growth and
steady success in handling the trade.

Wholesale grocers and cigar jobbers

trade was maintained up to five years

and rapid progress began. Shipments
are made to North Dakota, eastern
Montana, and northwestern Mime
sofa. Fourteen statesmen are kept on
the road and the office and warehouse
force total thirty. The building oc-

Fargo, North Dakota
The Biggest Little City in the World'

housed in buildings, in nearly every
case of modern and substantial build,
valued at over a half million dollars.
AS convention city, Fargo has no
competitor in the Northwest. Its
beautiful auditorium with seating
capacity of $500; it's ample hotel ac-
commodations and it's strategic rail-
road facilities, coupled with the we'll
known hospitality of its people have
won it an enviable record and reputa-
ton in this direction.
Fargo is the headquarters in the
state of most of the we'll known secret
societies, many of which own palatial
homes here, and attract to the city
thousands of visitors annually. Its
hospitals, three in number, are monu-
ments to the liberality and civic en-
terprise of it's citizens. The State fair
grounds are located just. out of the
city limits-the physical valuation of
this plant being $94,O0O it's buildings
being valued at $64,OO0 and it's real
estate, race track and lighting system,
at $4,000. There are six theaters
and picture show houses; four good
bowling alleys, skating rink, Town
and Country club, league baseball
club, Tennis club, Motor Cycle club
Canoe club, Athletic club CONNECTED
with the Armory), Automobile club
and in fact, all the modern devices
for healthy indoor and outdoor
amusement found in any we'll regu-
lated city.
Like all other well-ordered modern
cities, Fargo has a Commercial club
of ESQ members. This club spends an
nually in publicity, industrial promo
tion entertainment and civic improve
ment, $4,000. 1t is organized for the
performance of such duties as usually
fall to the lot of chambers of COM
merce,, boards of trade and civic I'M
provement clubs. 1t is governed by
an executive committee of twenty
one, each of whom is elected by and
represents some one of the CONNER
cial industrial or professional groups
of the community.
The territory that Fargo serves is
yet but partially developed Aside
from being the greatest wheat-raising
section of the United States, it is to-
day-thanks to the effort of the Bet
ter Farming association and kindred
bodies-developing large dairy indus
tries, promoting scientific stock rails
ing, in short, creating a domain of
agriculture SO diversified in it's activ-
unthought We feel safe, therefore,
in predicting future for the city that
serves this territory that will spell a
Fargo of $4,000 people before the next
decade shall have passed away.
