Of the punitive expedition. The
letter was written March II, and
the following paragraphs are
taken from it.

business in the building now oc-
cupied by Schmid and Gramins-
Ike in the spring Of 1896. It was
then known as Scnmanl and
Jaehning. In 1899 the store was
moved into the building it now
occupies in the centre of the
business section and in 1904 the
present firm members bought
the interests of the senior part
ner, A. G.. Schmahl.
The business is now owned by
Geo. Jaehning of Redwood Falls
and Alfred Jaehning of Wood
Lake. Geo. Jaehning has exclu-
sive management of it and is
responsible for it's great growth
during recent years. The in
crease in the volumn of business
has been so marked that the
firm recently purchased the adj
joining building which will later
be used as a part of the store
proper. The firm also owns a
large warehouse near the c. N.
w. R. R. tracks. Not only fine
lines of shelf hardware and
sporting goods are handled, but
the Jaehning Bros. also have a
wide reputation for their work
as plumbers and the installation
Of hot water, steam and hot air
heating plants.
Experts Demonstrate
An interesting feature of the
anniversary entertainment will
be demonstrations of all kinds,
six experts having promised
their services for the four days.
The articles demonstrated will
be the Maytag washer, electric
gasoline and handpower, the
famous Heath and Milligan
paints and Sunshine finishes, the
hot water boiler and V. and K.
automatic lift pump which will
be demonstrated by the Western
Supply Co. of St. Paul, an cleo
trio vacuum cleaner by the
American Radiator Co., the
Quick Meal ranges, oil stoves
and gasoline stoves by the Rim
gen Stove Co., and the Milwau-
kee Air pump designed especial
ly for giving a direct-from-the-
we'll supply system for farm
use. All these articles will be
thoroughly demonstrated by men
who understand them thorough
ly.
On the last day of the ami
versary celebration there will be
music and light refreshments,
including hot coffee will be
served. The Jaehning Brothers
are hopeful that their many
friends and patrons will call at
the store at some time during

was characteristic should
