WHAT is MAKING LANGDON A
HOME AND TRADING CENTER

Now days the great wealth of
the state of North Dakota has be-
come proverbial. It's wealth as a
state, when the per capita of popu-
iatlon is given consideration is
greatet than that Of any other state
in the Union. North Dakota, and
that applies jus6 az closely to condi.
tlons here in Cavalier county, the
greatest asset that we possess is the
three feet OF soil THAI lies closest to
the surface of the ground. The far
mer, the real estate man and the
average businessman are all wise to
this being an actual fact that the
tlller of the soil has within his grasp
the key to the situation in all that
goes to the making and developing
the interests Of this state. whatever
they may be. The money received
by our farmers for their crops and
live stock is new money, produced
nut of our coil and it is this money
made right here in North Dakota
that gives the state it's standing of
wealth. This all indicates a season
of prosperous business for towns of
Cavalier county. of which naturally
Langdon is a trading center. Mer-
chants are anticipating it, stores are
laying In larger stocks, warehouses
of machinery are being we'll stocked.
All in anticipation of an active buy
ing season. Another feature is the
active demand of both town and farm
buyers by those who in years past
have been satisfied bv being mere
renters. These are facts that are
apparent to even the casual obser.
want of what is going on in our
midst every day
