We wish to portray to the minds of
the residents of Crookston and this
section of Minnesota those concerns
who cope with the progress and ex-
pansion along building lines by fur

all forms of construction work. Hence,
it is but justice that we mention the
above named firm, located at 81 N.
Broadway. They are dealers in lum.
Der, lime, cement, plaster, building
material and coal, such as any sue
cessful lumber company carries. Dur.
ing the time that Charles E. Potts,
President, has been in business he has
formed such favorable relations with
reliable sources of supply that his
stock and equipment is equal to any
similar concern in the state. To those
desiring anything in the building or
lumber line, we would advise an in.
vestigation of the values and service
rendered by the Home Lumber Co
and we are sure that any of our read
ers will be more than pleased with
the service and quality of materials
received from them.

building containing $500 square feet
of floor space, and has grown until
they occupy at present 10000 square
feet of floor space. They are large
buyers in all the staple lines of hard
ware, taking advantage. of the market

idea of reducing the cost to the con-
sumner of everything in the hardware
line. The volume of business has
grown far beyond their most sanguine
expectation. From this immense stock
of goods the purchaser can find every
thing he may require in connection
with the hardware line. By the in
creasing volume of their business they
have been permitted to reduce the
margin of profit to such an extent that
makes it very attractive for shrewd
buyers in their line to deal with them.
They also conduct in connection with
the hardware business a plumbing and
heating department and have to their
credit the execution of many of the
largest contracts in that line that
have been awarded in Northwestern
Minnesota in recent years. Their mot

LYRIC TEEATER

Photoplays are coming to be the
amusement of the nation. The old
type of citizen, the man or woman
who used to dolefully shake his or
her head at the decadence of the
drama, has pretty well passed away,
and now it is only an occasional
eccentric who will deny that the NOV
ing picture show fills a long felt want
in the amusement craving nature of
people. The crowds who patronize
the Lyric Theater, on S. Main Street,
don't seem to feel any qualms over
the alleged decadence of the drama.
They realize that flashing before them
nightly on the screen are productions
more tremendous than the stage could
ever boast, dramas more poignant, and
comedies with more wealth of detail.
more cause for laughter, in a single
reel than many stage comedies have
in a whole wearisome evening. Mr..
II. V. Curry, manager, furnishes first
releases from the best producers.
