Editor Colby Of Sandstone
wants to abolish all foreign or
"jaw-breaking" languages as he
calls them. To this we will just
add the following question: Did
you. Brother Colby. ever see any
one break his jaw speaking a
foreign lnguage? We consider it
an advantage to be able to read
and understand more than one
language. enabling a person to
appreciate the literature of more
than one country. There is per-
haps considerable jealousy on the
part of those who do not speak
more han one language and for
this reason some. "holleriny"
about down with the foreign
tongues. If they would say
down with those who have their
feet in America and their heart
in some foreign country there
would be more sense to it.

several times--too often to
work up a good steady patronage
and paying business. Some
times it has been open the six
days Of the week, some times
three days, at different inter-
walls we have been without a
barber entirely and at present it
is open on Saturdays only. The
present barber desires to do
other work and for this reason
has the shop open only on Satur-
days. He is Of the accommodate
ing kind and is helping us out
until we secure another barber
and so that the men of the COM
munity shall not be too long
bearded. As it is now the
barber business itself amounts
to an average of about $40 a
week if a man is there regularly
the six days of the week. Then
there is the commission on
laundry and if man was a little
handy he might do dry clean
ing during spare times. With
this added the business ought to
amount to about $25 a week and
this is not to be sneezed at con-
sidering the small investment
and the opportunity for building
up bigger business. With
several more lines of business
added in the village which Of it.
self would create a larger popu-
lation and more customers for
the barber shop, and the trad
ing territory of Askov expanded,
the barber business would be a
good one. AS it is right now
there is a fairly good opening
for a good barber who has
learned his trade and will stick
and not expect all the trade to
come rushing to his door the
first day he opens up.
AS before mentioned one thing
helps another, and if all those
lines of business above men,
toned were added in Askov it
would certainly be no detriment
to those that are already es,
tablished here, but material
benefit. If a farmer living 10,
Is or 20 miles from here wants
a suit of clothes and he knows
that there is a good reliable
clothing store in Askov he will
come here to buy that suit and be-
sides that will load up with
week or two weeks supply of
groceries. Those living 20 miles
away do not come to town so
often and when they do come
they are usually big customers.
He may also buy some hardware,
lumber, feed. may take his
family to the restaurant for re-
freshments and himself get
trimmed up" at the barber
shop. Oh. yes. these other lines
of business established in Askov
would be big benefit. We
should strive to have all lines.
of business represented here so
that when farmer comes to
town he can be supplied with
whatever he wants.
Askov will have cement side
walks this summer which will
help to beautify the village, an
ordinance has been passed by the
village council against the build
ing of any more wooden shacks
and fire traps on Main Street so
now let us strive on toward more
and bigger business.

AskNv Offers Several Good
Business Opportunities

From all appearances Askov
offers several good openings for
various lines Of business. 1t has
often been said that the village
is not up" to the farming COM
munity about it. An effort
should be made to make it SO.
About a half dozen years ago
Askov supported harness and
shoe repairer. At present there
are none engaged here in that
line of business, when as a mat
ter of fact. there is splendid
opportunity for a good paying
business. A harness and shoe re-
pair business where harness is
also sold. is the one line Of bust
ness that is most needed in this
community: there is almost a
crying need for it; ask any
farmer. With twice as many
settlers here now as 6 or 7 years
ago, when Askov supported a
harness and shoe repairer, it
means a good business for good
tradesman.
Then there is the garage. With
between 60 and 70 automobiles
in the immediate vicinity and
more coming right along there
is a. good paying business in that
line. A good building and
equipment is already here, just
waiting for the right man. The
present owner Of the garage did
a good business last year and the
year before. and besides himself
kept two more men busy most Of
the time. The owner would
rather be occupied Mt other lines
Of work and has therefore,
abandoned the garage. leaving a
!. good opportunity for a mechanic
and a hustler.
Another line of business which
it seems ought to do well here
in Askov now is a furniture
store. There is no furniture
store in northern Pine county
and surely there ought to be one
somewhere. Askov has q large
trading territory people CON-
ing here from as far away as IS
to 20 miles east. II these people
could be supplied with all their
needs when they come to town
It would tend to expand our
trading territory. "A furniture
man in village of this size of
course ought to be an undertaken
also. He could also do picture
framing and have a tin shop in
connection. With these addi-
tions a furniture store in Askov
ought to do well.
One thing helps another, and
with the above lines of business
added it would help materially
in supporting a clothing and ex-
elusive gents furnishing store.
There is volume of clothing
business going out of Askov
which could just as we'll remain
here if we had a clothing store.
A clothing store in town would
be a help to the other lines of
business above mentioned if
they were established here as
well as a material benefit to
those already represented.
"A millinery store is also in
order about this time, and there
is a big need for a restaurant
where short order lunches are
served. The latter business
might be in connection with a
bakery or some other line.
With all. or some Of these lines
q business added it would make
good paying business for a
barber here regularly. The past
four or Ave years Askov has been
served irreeularly by barber
shop. Il has changed hands
