Prosperity in great many in

time that business would fall off ana
that the twenty-six buildings made
vacant by the shutting off of the
liquor traffic would remain empty in
definately. Today there is not q
vacant business building in Mankato
On the contrary, there is great
demand for such buildings, and the
city is enjoying the best trade in its
history.
One of the members of the Man
kato retail Merchants association in
speaking to a Free Press reporter in
regard to the effects OF the elimina-
ton of liquor here, said that the re-
suits are very gratifying. The credit

Families who had dire want staring
them in the face, are today meeting
their obligations promptly. They are
eating better food, their children are
better clothed and there is now a
general atmosphere of happiness
where gloom once stalked in all its
1ideous form.
Insurance men here state that
heads of families are protecting their
families in The way of insurance,

length, the work of the stock breed
ers in soliciting funds for the propos-
ed pavilion. He stated that they had
succeeded in raising about $4,000 in
subscriptions toward the erection OF
the proposed pavilion, and could prob

it was not time that plans and speci-

Of materials at the present day, it was
thought that the Mankato pavilion
could be erected for about $4,000.
