Enterprises
KLEIN GROCER COMPANY

Among the many institutions that
contribute toward the commercial ac-
tivity of Pennington and one that
stands out conspicuously as a first
class institution of it's kind, is the
neatly arranged and completely stock
ed Klein Grocer Company store.
A large stock of staple and fancy
groceries is carried and liberal pat
ronage is enjoyed. Orders ere filled
promptly and one of the quickest and
most efficient delivery services of
the town is maintained. The stock
| is fresh and everything kept in sthe
most sanitary manner. Polite and at
tentive clerks are employed and con-
tinued success is assured. H. w. Man
ley is the manager.
LANG & BRO. MFG. & NERO. co.
Taking the front rank not only in
their line, but assuming a command
ing position among tie largest inter-
ests here is the firm of Lang g. Bro.
Manufacturing & Mercantile Co. They
manufacture the LANG" wagon, OPP
crate blacksmith and woodwork
shop, do general repair work, have
first class planer mill; deal in all
kinds of lumber and building mater
ial and are distributors of the Oliver
line of plows, cultivators and farm
implements.
The Lang Wagon is widely uesd in
this territory, having been found to
be at least as reliable and perhaps
more reliable--than the ordinary
makes. Being home product weighs
the scales in its own favor. No word
of commentator is necessary for the
Oliver plows. In the line of building
material everything is carried and
during this period when it was almost
impossible for the retailer to supply
his customers, this stock has been as
near complete as any in this line in
the country.
The officers of this popular insti-
tuition are Emile C. Lang, president;
7. j. Lang, vice president, and w. R.
Lang, secretary-treasurer and man
