The leading institution in the city
of Glencoe, and for the entire local
ity, for that matter, is this banking
house, of which Mr. G.. K Gilbert is
president. 1t was in 1875 that it was
first established as private bank, and
then in 1888 became incorporated as
state bank with the title it now
bears-Bank of Glencoe Mr. Gilbert,
president of the institution, was born
in Connecticut but came to this city
in the year of 1857 and has, since
its period of life here, witnessed the
town grow up, prosper, and expand
into the small city of today. The
Bank of Glencoe was for many years
the only bank in the county, and is,
therefore, by all rights and odds, the
oldest and best established. The 9TH

1.-THE PIONEER STORE

"The Pioneer Store" Most fitting
ly described it is, for far back in the
year of 1873 was this store opened for
the first time. Mr.. L. S. PRESS, was
born in Carver County, in 1858, and
is one of the oldest citizens in the
town. This business was first estab-
lished by Mr.. John PRESS, in the year
of 1873 above mentioned, and assumed
by the present proprietor in the year
1888, the elder Mr.. Priess dying in
1893. The line handled is one of gen.
eral merchandise, and all the various
departments which go to take care of
and properly display dry goods, hats,
caps, shoes, and groceries to the in
dividual purchaser, such as prints,
silks, dress goods, corsets, shoes for
men, women or children, ladies ready
to wear garments, furnishings for men
and boys including all haberdashery,
notions, knick knacks, sundries, and
the entire output of the complete gen.
eral merchandise store. Due to the
years of service which this place has
given to the public, a clientele of
steady patrons has formed itself
around the store and it's destinies.

FRANK KADLEC.

The twenty-ffth of July last saw
the seventeenth anniversary of the
opening of this establishment, where
drugs, stationery, and toilet articles
have been obtained by Glencoe's pop
ulation during that interim of time.
Mr.. Kadlec was born and raised in
Mcleod County and has lived in this
vicinity his entire life. 1t was in 1913
that the business we'll justified the
erection of a new building which is
now occupied. In addition to the
drugs, stationery and toilet articles,
Mr.. kadlec handles school supplies,
of which he makes an enduring spe-
cialty. Prescriptions are carefully
compounded and given the most pre-
fcrred attention by pharmacists who
know their business from A to Z. A
nice local trade is we'll supplemented
by a heavy trade from the rich farm
ing territory adjacent and adjoining
Glencoe on all sides. A full line of
specialties suitable for presents or re-
membranes is also featured.

where he 1abored for good twenty
years. This firm finally sold out to the
Glencoe Mercantile Company. 1t has
been six years since Mr.. Frank Gaines
went into business for himself, but
he has never regretted the move, as
business has more than kept up to his
expectations. Shoes, clothing, ladies'
and gents furnishings. The expert
ence which this gentleman has had in
the attending to personal and indi
vidual wants has made him expert in
giving the service which counts, and
seeing that his patrons have the best
there is at reasonable prices. The
entire stock is most complete and we'll
arranged to afford the quickest inspec-
ton and idea of ones wants in any of
the furnishings, whether ready to
wear garments or foot gear, or hab-
erdashery. Trade coming to this store
is about evenly divided between city
and country.

of Glencoe who has lived here since
early childhood The drug store has
been doing business for thirty-fve
long years, and has won a niche for
itself in the respect and confidence
of the surrounding community. 1t is
very large and complete place and
all that could be thought of in the
way of drugs of all kinds and patent
medicines are here to be had. The
incest, slickest soda fountain in the
city caters to huge trade through
out the warm weather, while a we'll
chosen line of cigars, tobaccos and
sundry articles of miscellaneous trade
are tastefully on display in the cases
and shelving. Prescription work is

ness alone keeps two men busy in
taking care of the public's wants. If

Glencoe, Minnesota

Fifty-nine miles west of St. Paul is
Glencoe, the county seat of Mcleod
County. 1t is clustered near the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway,
which feeds into the Twin Cities from
the territory farther west of Glencoe.
Glencoe is proverbially a town of
industry and one that never marks
time in the progress of its industries,
but keeps on an even keel with steady,
unvarying forward movement, COM
mercially as we'll as physically, NOR
ally, and mentally. A well-appointed
commercial club is at all times active
in its working for the interests of
town and county, its influence ema
mating from club rooms which are
amply adequate for the purpose in
tended. There are several churches
in Glencoe and an especially fine Cath
Ollie church, which does much cred
it to town and community surround
ing. A seminary of up-to-date pat
tern, trim little opera house, a hos
pital, creamery, which is perpetually
a-throb with trade, two banks, ma
chine shop and foundry, from whose
vitals the clang of busy hammers and
the moulding of metals comes daily,
a drain tile works, three hotels, an
electric light plant and water works,
two weekly papers, brewery, three
grain elevators, -four, feed and saw
mills. This is farming and dairy
country of not only great possibilities
but of present activity Land sells
from $85 to $110 per acre, and is we'll
worth every cent of that and then
some more. There is a considerable
e oil
grains through Glencoe, and the mill
ing work is one of the principal fac
tors in the growth and general pros
perity of the city. The inhabitants
of Glencoe are industrious, frugal,
Woodworking people, who yet are lib
eral in their views and in financial
support to all enterprises of worthy
nature, or the purveying of reasonable
degree of luxury for their families.
There is always plenty of work in
Glencoe for all those who want to
work, and it might here be said that
there are no drones in Glencoe, for
everybody is glad to work at what
ever task he may best be fitted for,
and the consequent forward move
ment of the city is easily explained
by this attitude. The farming coun-
try around Glencoe is one of fertil-
ity, and though a deal of grain is
grown and handled, still the country
is getting to the diversified farming
stage, where the failure of one crop
has no lasting effect on the crop as
a whole. Glencoe is live little city,
a snug little city, and one that shows
the modern, progressive faculties of
its people on every hand, making it
