new HOME
FOR KOPALD
ELECTRIC CO.
Growing Electrical Concern Occupies
Ideal Quarters in the New
Epstein Block

The kopald Electric Co. have NOV
ed their stock of electric fixtures and
appliances into the new Epstein block
on Second Avenue East. Their new
establishment is admirably adapted to
their purpose and affords them ample
room for the display of their stock
and at the same time gives them plen-
ty of room in the basement for stor-
age space and for their work room.
Their display windows which were de-
signed by Louis Sitner, attract the at
tentlon OF every passer-by. Here
may be seen every electrical device
conducive to the comfort or conven-
iience Of the home from an electric flat
iron to vacuum sweeper. The sales
room contains numerous devices which
will materially aid in relieving the
oVer-Worked house wife of the onerous
labors which fall to her lot. Three
KINDS or electric vacuum cleaners are
on exhibition here, the Hotpoint, the
Hoover and the Eclipse. This is but
one item in the general list carried.
Another is the Majestic electric range,
one of the latest inventions on the
market, and, by the way, one that inn
medlately challenges the attention, as
its Importance is readily acknowledged
and it will be welcomed in many homes
because of its usefulness. Two elect
ric operated washing machines are ex-
hibited, the Thor Electric and the
Grinnell. The Jupiter farm lighting
plants are another feature which they
will make a speciality later on. In
fact every appliance known which may
be operated by electricity may be
found at this establishment.
At the back of the main room is
darkroom where are exhibited electric
fixtures and lighting devices. Switches
and wiring are so arranged that by
simply pressing button any desired
pattern may be shown to best advan-
tage.
Another item which we observed
during an inspection of this store is
that they purchase all fixtures and
parts direct from the manufacturer
and the assembling is done here in
their own workshop, thus eftecting a
considerable saving in expense and
enabling them to sell this line at a
lower cost than is possible where the
goods are purchased thru jobbers. One
man is kept on the road constantly,
soliciting business and taking orders
for electrical appliances. Besides the
members of the firm all of whom are
practical electricians, they keep
force of workmen employed in install
lation work.
Since their coming to the city a
year ago the Kopald Electric Co. have
prospered wonderfully. They installed
the system of boulevard lights along
East Central avenue and Third street
and in Eastwood park. In addition to
their work on public improvements
they have done an immense amount of
work in the new business blocks and
residences throughout the city during
the past year.
The firm consists of Charles, Maur-
ice and Joseph Kopald, and everyone
about the city is familiar with the
fact that they are hustling young busi-
ness men, full of "pep", and ready
and willing at all times to assist in
enterprise that has to do with the
common veal. Their mother, Mrs.
B. Kopald of Dubuque, Ia, is here Wis
iting her sons this week. She in
forms the Independent that she has six
sons, all grown to manhood. One of
her sons, a lawyer, is at Camp Grant,
where he is in training preparatory
to entering the service of the govern.
ment, with the boys Somewhere in
France.
The Kopald Electric Co. maintain
in this city one Of the finest establish
ments in the northwest comparing
favorably with like enterprises in cit
les many times the size of Minot.
