A Good Old Town

times that Kendrick is an ideal
location for a pork and bean can
ming factory. Both pork and beans
can be purchased here direct from
the producer at a lower price than
at eastern points where the major
ity of the large factories are locat-
ed. Then too, tomatoes for catsup
can be produced here in any guam
tity and the best in the world for
quality. A good cannery that
could be operated the year round
would be big thing for this COM
munity. Vegetables and fruits
could keep it going part of the sea-
son and pork and beans coud be can
ned during the winter months.
It has been often said that Kend-
rick is the best town of it's size in
the northwest. There are a num-
Der of reasons why one is lead to be-
Iieve that this statement is true.
1t should be the best town of it's size
because it is the business center of
the best agricultural section in the
world. One Of the best indications
of the prosperity of this agricultur-
al section is advertised every day by
the two splendid grain elevators
and the modern flour mill. You
will travel over many states in the
Union and in none of them we will
venture to say, will you find two
such substantial structures in a
town the size of Kendrick. They
give the town a solid, substantial
appearance and are a credit to the
whole Potlatch country.
1t is said a town, regardless of it's
size, is just what the business men
of the town make it. There are
some good boosters in Kendrick
which is clearly indicated by the
steady progress which the town has
made during the past few years.
Other good things are in store and
will be a reality before long.
We believe that the people of the
Potlatch country have reason to
feel proud of their town and can
afford to back it IN every way to
make it continue to be credit to
the country surrounding it.
Where will you find a town of
this size that has four general mer-
chandise and grocery stores that
carry stock as complete as that
carried by the Kendrick Store Com
pany, N. B. Long & Son, Stanton
Bros. and 6. N. Baker? Where
will you find town no larger than
Kendrick with three up-to-date
hardware stores, all carrying a
large stock of hardware and i'm,
plements? Then there are the two
banks, both fiourishing institutions
carrying heavy deposits. Three
garages, all with complete automo.
bile repair shops and each one hav.
ing an automobile sales agency; 4
furniture store that agrees to- un.
dersell any other in the world; the
best harness shop in the state; two
big lumber yards carrying a com
plete line Of building materials; ar
electric light plant with "a houl
service; one of the largest drug
stores in the state; two modern
hotels; a confectionery and lunch
room; millinery store; newspaper
Office, real estate Office, dentist
. doctor, two blacksmith shops, shoe
: repair shop, three drays-in fact
practically everything in the lin'
of business houses etc. that you will
find in town three times the SIZE
of Kendrick. Isn't town like thi
worth keeping up? 1t is to the in
terest of every land owner in thi
community to do everything pos
sibIe to advance the interests of thi
town, because in doing so he ais,
greatly increases the value of hi
land holdings. AS the surroundin,
country prospers, so will the tow
prosper and as the town prosper
so will the land tributary to
prosper. Let's all be good booster
for Hendrix and the Potlath.
