that in his opinion the Twin City

would make no mistake in construct

for the sanitation, and an ample sup

OILMONT MAKING
RAPID IIEADWAY Y

The writer has had occasion 10
make several trips to the thriving lit
tie city Of Oilmont the past week, and
say if you think that that place is
not growing, you should go out and
take look for yourself There is
buildings going up all over this place.
While there, we find that the Oilmont
meat market, owned by James Nelson
and sons, is proving to be one of the
substantial business places. Mr.. Mel
son is erecting a real market He is
preparing an ammonia plant that will
enable him to keep his fresh lines Of
meat in the very best Of condition,
he is also running a coil thru his show
case which will keep meats cold and
fresh. He is cementing up an ice
cooler, and he is really putting in a
place that would be a credit to any
city. He is located in a good spot,
and will be able to furnish first class,
meats to the entire field Not only
is this place busy but the Oilmont
Mercantile is enjoying nice busi-
ness as well as the Shoe Drug store,
Davis Supply Co., three good resta-
urants. garages, Pixies Electric
works, MacFarlane's tin shop. and in
fact Oilmont is rapidly coming to the
front, and all they need now is for
Jim Hill to run his railroad thru that
town.

when the animal is eating, but in
spite Of its double mouth it shows NO
greater appetite than the average

Great Falls and Shelby interested in

And now-the Essex Super-SiX.

And now-the Essex Super-SiX.
A smart, fast car of remarkable
power, restful, enduring and beauti-
full has won the title Essex Super
Six because of the remarkable per-
forming ability of the Super-Six prin-
ciple and endurance built into it. In
beauty it is now a counterpart of
the Hudson Super-SiX.
The punch of performance in these
cars carries a positive thrill. Such
is the soundness of construction that
this Essex Super-Six can safely be
held at so miles an hour all day long
with no care or worry. Acceleration
is something spectacular. On hills
or in mud or sand the motor has a
pulling power far ahead of all previ-
Gus standards.
Yes, girls, we are going to give
away an Essex Coach and all you
have to do is get votes. Everybody
is eligible to enter this contest except
members of the St. Paul Echo staff.
