Land Transfers of
Past Week Means
Much to Plentyweod
New Owners Will Build An
Apartment House on Site
Is Rumor

A transaction of considerable i'm
portalce to the city of Plentywood
was consumated last Saturday when
a group of investors purchased the
Herald Addition" just outside the
city limits, from c. S. Nelson. The
consideration is said to be about
$4,000 per acre. This block Of land
is located south of the ball park be-
tween the Scobey road and the rail
road, and is part of the original
homestead settled on by Mr.. and Mrs.
c. S. Nelson in 1908.
This addition was surveyed into
blocks, lots and acreage tracts ten
years ago, but the dedication of same
has never been filed in the Clerk &
Recorders office and the Nelson's
have steadfastly refused to sell any
part of same, although scores of par
ties have tried to purchase lots there.
The transaction was negotiated
through l.. S. Olsen of Plentywood
who will also have charge of the
sale of lots in this new addition. A
number of lots have already been
bargained for, and the purchasers
will erect new homes there this COM
ing spring and summer.
Part of this new addition will be
restricted so that no homes can be
erected there at less cost than
$4,000.
One of the parties interested in
this purchase has plans and specifi-
cations ready for the erection of @
modern 20 apartment fiat building
size 6Ox140 feet, full two stories ir

building will be fire proof and strict.

J. c. PENNEY co.
TO INCREASE
NO. OF STORES
Expansion Will Add Many
Millions of Dollars to
Yearly Sales

The j. c. Penney Co., operators of
1918 retail department stores will
negotiate 500 leases for new store
locations this spring for stores to be
opened as rapidly as store units can
be developed in a special expansion
move just authorized by the board of
directors. This expansion will in
volve an increase in retail sales of
between $40,000,000 and $50,000,0O
over the present rate of around $780,
100000 a year. The store locations
will be confined to cities and towns of
from $500 to 5000 population.
Following the established policy of
the j. c. Penney Co., managers for
the new locations will be selected
from the present store personnel.
The company now has sufficient
men to take care of the managerial
duties of the new stores as fast as
they are opened.
Central locations will be selected
in all new store towns and the stand
ard type of Penney store fronts and
interior arrangements will be used.
The stocks of this stores will in
clude full line OF goods similar to
that sold in the local ]. C. Penney
store.
Early in 1928, the J. G. Penney Co.
announced that new warehouse
would be erected in st. Louis, Mo-,
and this new structure is now near
ing completion. 1t will be utilized to
serve the company stores in the
South and the Southwest. The pres
ent warehouse in New York City will
serve the Eastern section of the
country.
The real estate division of the or
ganization now has representatives
in all parts of the country making
store town selections and the con-
struction department is making
preparations for the most extensive
development program in the history
of the company.

SShool Notes

The school wishes to exetnd its be-
lated thanks to the business houses
of Plentywood, who so graciously
donated for the carnival held at the
school on November 10th. 1t is a
spirit of this kind that makes it pos
sible for us to keep up our athletics
and other school activities.
Remember the grade school oper-
eta to be held at the Orpheum on
Friday of this week. 1t is entitled
"Yanki San." There will be matin-
ee at 300 p. M, with the prices Of
25 and 80 cents. The evening prices
will be so cents for everyone except
for loge seats which sell at rs cents.
If you miss this program, you will
miss one of the big events Of the
year.
The Christmas vacation begins at
400 o'clock on Friday, December 21.
School begins again after the holi-
days on Monday, January 7, at $500
a. m.
Remember that Christmas seals
may be purchased at the school or at
Plentywood Drug Company. If you
cannot get your seals when desired,
call the school and someone will
bring them to you. Please bear in
mind also, that these are not Red
Cross Seals, but Anti-Tuberculosis
Seals.
This is the one investment for
charity in which your money acts as
a boomerang in that it comes back
to our school. We shall be entitled tc
the services of school nurse for one
week next spring if our sales are
large enough.
Buy Christmas Seals and do some
one a good turn. 1t might even save
a life.
The present epidemic of flu seems
to have been more serious, with mem
bers of the faculty than with the
pupils. Several teachers have beer
absent from school the past week.
The sale of seals from the first
two days of the week amounted tc
s68.00. The amount collected at this
time next week should be $l6S.

Peterson Companyto
Build New Garage
This Coming Spring
Will Erect Modern Garage
To Handle Chevrolet Sales
and Service

Plentywood's continued substan-
tial growth is further indicated by
the announcement this week by the
Peterson Company, local Chevrolet
dealers, that they are soon to build
a garage building to take care of
their growing business and to pro-
vide Chevrolet service locally to the
many owners of that popular make
of car in this territory.
The building will be a fire proof
structure, 60x75 feet and thoroughly
modern throughout, and so planned
as to provide ample show room space
for efficient sales room quarters and
also garage and storage room suf-
ficient to meet the general demand.
The new structure will be located
on the site back of the Peterson
Company Hardware Store, and will
face First Avenue. The buildings oc-
cupied at present by F. d. Morck
and the Plentywood Undertaking
parlors will have to make way for
the new building and will either be
torn down or moved to some other
location.
The Peterson Company has long
felt the need of such a building as
their present sales room quarters
have been far from adequate in
meeting the requirements of their
large sales and constantly increasing
business. The shop will be equipped
with the latest type of Chevrolet
service equipment and a staff of the
best mechanics available will be
employed. The estimated cost of the
building will be about $4,000.

Many Cases of Flu

This vicinity is not exempt from
the flu epidemic which seems to have
swept all over the country. The di-
sease, however, has not reached the
proportions that it has in some of
the neighboring towns. Wolf Point
and Culbertson have closed their
schools a week ago because of the
prevalence of the disease and seve-
raj districts in Sheridan county
close school this week for the same
reason. The cases reported from
this region, however, are not of a
serious nature.

FED. OFFICERS
MAKE BIG HAUL
In RAID HERE
Large Quantity of Booze Is
Siezed and Destroyed
In Local Raid

Plentywood's aridity may be Sc
riously questioned at times, but there
is no question but what Plentywood
is dryer today by a good many
quarts than it was last Tuesday
when Inspector Of Customs Ted Win
ters visited this city and raided the
Joint" conducted by Bert Darvis'
home and the Joe Mcintosh place
two miles south of town.
The raid Of the Darvis place last
week by the city police authorities,
evidently had small effect upon the
business Of that institution for when
raided by the Inspector, quantity of
beer, home brew and wine was found.
on the premises. Darvis' home-the
next place raided- about thirty
gallons of wine, small amount
of home brew, six eases of Canadian
whiskey were seized.
The Macintosh place, alleged to
have been the supply depot for the
Darvis operations. yielded the big
haul of the day Sixty-four cases of
Canadian beer, a 10 gallon keg of
wine, and six gallons OF wine in jugs
were seized. All of the confiscated
goods, with the exception of small
quantity retained for evidence were
destroyed.
Darvis, assuming full responsibility
was arraigned before Commissioner
E. E. Belanski. He waived prelimi-
nary hearing and was bound over to
the coming term of United States
District court
Whatever the outcome of the case,
the loss of the liquor will in itself
represent "fine" that will run up in
to hundreds Of dollars.
Assisting in the raid were the two
local policemen, O. j. Collins and
Rube Jorgenson.

CHEVROLETS
! MEET DEMAND
Sell One Million Cars
Since Introduction
Of New Models

DETROIT, Oct. 13.-Keeping pace
with the most insistent demand in
It's history, the Chevrolet Motor COM
pany has delivered more than one
million cars into the hands Of own
ers since the introduction Of the
Bigger and Better" model last jan
uary first, it was announced at the
eompany's offices here today.
This sensational achievement Of
delivering one million ears in nine
months is without a parallel in the
history of the manufacture of gear
shift cars and is seen as a tribute to
the manufacturing ability and far
sightedness of the company. II IS
regarded here as a further indica-
tion Of Chevrolet's leadership as the
worlds largest automobile producer.
How Chevrolet marched to this
height Of popular acclaim may be
noted in the fact that within ninety
days after the introduction of the
new a more than a quarter million
new C~hevrolets were on the high
ways in the service of their owners.
Two months later, or on June first.
a half million cars were in use from
NainR to California. Another two
months saw 100000 Chevrolets pro-
viding dependable transportation IN
every city. town and hamlet in the
Union. And then came October
when the full million mark was
achieved.
In order TO accommodate the de-
mand, new plants and additions TO
present ones were made necessary in
the many cities across the country
where Chevrolet now maintains man
ufacturing or assembly operations.
Foremost among these was the open
ing In the spring Of a mammoth as
sembly plant in Atlanta, now the
largest automobile establishment in
the south.
Despite new plants and factory ad-
dftions, Chevrolet has been working
on q night and day basis since the
first of the year in an effort TO kee;.
pace with orders. More than $1,000
men, the greatest number ever on
\ Chevrolet payroll, were employ
ed TO assist in the production Of the
million "Bigger and Better" models
now or the road.
