A boom must have struck McElrOy
The Rogerson homestead has increased
in value. Now comes the report that
10000 has been asked for one single
lot in the village. Friday last, a
young man, Ralph Downey by name,
stepped off at the station to take
charge as depot agent. Joe Noon of
Overland, Sask., is building a store at
McElroy. Just as soon as possible he
will start to handle goods in this place
Some of his supply is already at the
depot. Mr.. Noon is not much Of I.
stranger here. His homestead at Ov-
erland is about ten miles from Nc
Elroy. He has kept the store and
postoffice there for a number of years
and farmed at the same time. He and
his wife are hard working accOmo-
dating and well liked. They are NOV
ing to McElroy principally to get the
benefit of the railroad. They aim to
keep, as far as possible, general sup
ply of the things most in demand by
! their patrons. Mr.. and Mrs. Noon
expect to move permanently from Ov-
erland the first of October, but ex-
pect to accommodate customers at the
store before that time They have a
good Radio receiving outfit which will
be in operation here as soon as they
move. Mr.. Noon intends to apply for
a postoffice as soon as practicable.
Joking aside as far as a boom is
concerned, we believe McElroy is well
able to support a store and feyNother
business houses should they be estab-
lished, a blacksmith shop might be
one of the first needs. At any rate,
it behooves us to support the store,
the depot and the elevator in order
that they might have sufficient bus
mess to best serve all of US.
