PERIOD" she is now sailing upon smooth sea

cha1d, E. Ellison, Paul V. Mccoy, Olof A. o.
son, P. w. Miller John Ehr, @. O. Frank, E.
D. Kelley, Einar Mus and others, and such

ian-American Bank Citizens State Bank and

MINOT THE METROPOLIS OF STATE

Mnot and the surrounding country, the
future of which is beyond the power of pen to
describe, is we'll suited for the nurturing OF
that high type of citizenship for which North
Dakota STANDS in THE FRONT RANkS.5
The Great Architect, while building His foot
stool for mans habitation, apparently used
lavish hand on this particular spot now known
as MINOT. MINOF~ is~destiHed to become
the rival of all her sister cities in the state
which heretofore have beenSt erfned Vie whole
sale centres of the northwest. Her future
possibilities are PRACTICALLY UNLlMIT-
ED. She is ALREADY A RAILROAD GEN.
TIRE OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE,
PULSATING WITH THE LIFE BLOOD OF
THRIFT AND BUSINESS ENERGY. Her
railroads are constantly extending into new
and undeveloped territory vastly rich with the
stored-up treasures of Old Mother Earth. This
will surely bring more and more business and
wealth to this centrally located and highly ia
vored city. She is now city of schools and
churches, stately ediices and elegant homes,
and SHE IS IDEAL IN ALL HER APPOINT
MENTS being situated in the valley Of the
Mouse River, with undulating hills on either
side.

MINOT AN EDUCATIONAL CENTRE

When the man who believes in giving his
children every possible chance to succeed is
selecting city for his future home, he invari-
ably seeks out the city offering good
SCHOOL FACILITIES. In this, MinOt
stands DISTINCTLY ALONE. Her nurner-
Gus grade schools and High School are in
charge of very efficient Teachers while the
State Normal School has in three years made a
name for itself throughout the northwest.
THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL was open
ed for the instruction of students in 1913 in

tifu1 land for residence and building lots will
be sold at public auction for just what they
will bring REGARDLESS OF VALUE: This
valuable tract of land has been recently pur-
chased by the SOUTHWEST LAND CO., OF

ganized and incorporated land company
with headquarters at Minot. This magnificent
tract of land is just outside of the city limits
east of Minot, and is EMlNENlLY

waited enough to give grand view of the city;
lust rolling enough to be pleasing to the eye.
A very fine broad highway leads from this
land to the center of the city. 1t is only few
minutes drive and there are no hills to CLIMB
nor any OVERFLOW OF WATER TO CON-
TEND WITH. SIS
