mission house buying or covering, and
the market held fairly steady at rallies
of a few points from the lowest at the

Private cables reported there had been
some trade calling and covering in Liv-
erpool, but that prices were lower under
liquidation Of London and continental
accounts. A larger inquiry for cotton
cloths from the Near East and South

The new low prices made by the

was sufficient to absorb the offerings
and cause recoveries which carried

Made Photographs for This Issue

Henry Rydholm was born in
Minneapolis, Feb. 10, 1886. When
he was six years old his parents
moved to Upsala, Morrison county.
He grew up on the farm, but farm
life did not appeal to him. He had
yearning for photography and
finally secured minor position in
a studio where he was employed
for couple of years. He came to
Sank Centre in 1912 and opened
a small studio on the second floor
of the Beidelman block. In the
spring of 1914 he purchased the
business of Mr.. johnson on Main
street and moved into his present
location. Mr.. Rydholm likes to
take his camera and wander along
streams in the woods. Many of
the pictures he has taken in these
wanderings are gems.
When the radio first came into
existence Mr.. Rydholm became
interested. He is an expert. Many
homes in Sank Centre have radios
he has constructed. Recently he
built a loud speaker in which he
carried out his own ideas. It is
splendid success.
Several appliances used for the
developing Of negatives and prints
have been invented by Mr.. Ryd-
holm; a number of them are in
quite general use.
MIR. Rydholm is married and has
one son.

Expert Tire Rebairman

Nov. 1, 1926, he was resident of
Brooten, Stearns county. He was
in the produce business for many
years at Brooten. Thirteen years
before coming to Sank Centre he
entered the tire bushes. The ex-
perience gaianed made him an ex-
pert on tire repairing. Although
has has only been a resident of this
city less than two yeyars he is
recognized as an absolute author
ity on tires of all makes.
If your tire can be vulcanized
or repaired proftably Mr.. Noble
will tell you so. If it will not pay
to go to the expense of having your
tire repaired Mr.. Noble will tell
you.
It is because of this trait that
the public have learned to realize
that they can leave their tires with
Frank Noble and get a first-class
and absolutely dependable job of
vulcanizing at a reasonable price.
Mr.. Noble was married Oct. 81,
1899. There are four children,
three girls and one son, as fol-
lows: Mrs. Geo. Pleckner, Benson,
Mimi; Thelma, nurse at Sank
Centre Hospital; and lone at home,
