BENJAMIN'S TO GIVE
BIRTHDAY PARTY

Back in 1915 a young man super
intended the changing of the sign
on the store of Samuel LOwenthal o.
= Main street, Salisbury. The store,
small One-roOm AFFAIR with a stOy
in the center to provide heat 70
the comfort of employees and Gus
toners. was typical of the stores il
many small towns.
The young man who started il
such a small way twenty years age
was Israel L. Benjamin, who mex
week celebrates the twentieth ami
versary Of Renjamin's in Salisbury
by giving a big birthday party in his
store. ... ....
Back in 1915 Benjamin's employed
only eight people and the store Oe-
cupied approximately 1900 square
feet of space. Today Benjamins Oc-
I cupies approximately 10000 square
feet and employs S5 people. The
story of this steady growth is an in
teresting one.
I During the early days there was
no central heating in winter and no
electric fans in summer. By con-
stantly striving to serve customers
we'll, by keeping right up to the min
ute in styles and by fair dealing
with everyone the stores business
grew and grew.
In 1922, Mr.. Benjamin found it
necessary to enlarge his premises
and purchased the adjoining build
ing. Arches were cut through and
the two buildings made into one
store. At the same time central hot
water heating system was installed.
Four years later, in 1926. it was
again necessary to enlarge the
stores floor space and the second
floor Of both buildings was converted
from apartments into selling space.
This provided four times the selling
space in the original store.
This year further improvements
and enlargements have been made.
The first was the installation of a
modern air cooling system to nrO-
vide customer comfort during the
hot months. Benjamin's is the first
store on the Eastern Shore to in
stall such a system.
The second important move made
this year was the opening of new
children's shop. This was accom-
plished by taking over the second
floor of the Homer White building,
cutting an archway into Benjamin's
second floor and adding this extra
space to the Benjamin store.
The children's shop is finished in
ivory and is well planned and well
laid out with ample storage space
and attractive displays.
Plans have been made for a big
at Benjamin's in honor
of the twenty years of progress that I
have just been completed.
Starting on Wednesday evening, 1
October 2, there will be a fashion I
show in the store. An orchestra has
heen arranged for and a mammoth /
birthday cake ordered.
Beautiful girls from different /
parts Of the Eastern Shore have been
invited to act as models in the fash
ion show. Among those who have
aereed are Elmer Hall. Pocomoke: 4
-arylon Davis. Marion; Lillian
and Dorothy Balderson,
Snow Hill; Mrs. Harry Mitchell, Of
Ocean City; Jean B. Noble, Cam
bridge; Doris Atkinson. Fruitland.
md Peggy Croswell. Leslie Purnell,

Spotted Horse Mine Discovered BY SkoOkum Joe

ed the new road Before that first sum-
mer was past there were 50 many Ions
wagon trains tnas came over fne road
that II c1S deeply into the sod, and
parts. of the road are even yet easily
some OF the trains were more than 8
mile long. Tbs road was known a1l over
the west as tbs Carol road. because Ell
travel on it was headed 70 Carol with
freight. or else coming from Carol with
west-bouud freight and supplies that had
come up the river, on its way to Helena
or other gold mining centers in the
mountains.
Carol thrived during the first two
summers It supported two large mer-
chandising establishments, one operated
by Col. Clendennin. and the other By
the Murphy-Neai company. There was
a large hotel and an eating house.. where
those waiting for the next boat could get
food and shelter. There were also two
saloons, and woodyards as well as many
private dwellings. All the buildings were
surrounded by stockades.
People ct Carol also looked forward to
the big pay day. When the army officers
arrived with checks Tor all the soldiers
everyone celebrated. Those were joyous
days and business was especially good for
a few days. for everyone.
When the boats finally arrived there
was lots Of excitement. Old friends met
New friends we're rapidly made. All the
freight was unloaded along the river
bank and piled up for the wagon trains
to load. Letters from the home folks
were always welcomed.
Late ia the summer Of 1876, the river
was especially high and the current cut
the high bank rapidly. In q short time
much Of the townsite had caved OFF In
to the river. This gave Fort Benton
a good chance TO smear at the nsw town.
and they lost no opportunity to cast re-
marks about It. An item in the Fort
Benton paper made statements concern
ing Carols location, the surrounding
badlands. and the gumbo roads Of the
Carol section.
But Carol continued to prosper until
the coming of the Great Northern. It
was then that the freight to Carol stop
ped abruptly and from then ON It came
by train. Soon Carol was abandoned.
More and more Of it washed into the
river SO all that Is left OF the town now
Is part of one old store building.
This place has become q cattle ranch,
and is owned by Elmer Turner. who lives
there. He has partially remodeled the
Did building and is now using it for 9
barn. 1t is made Of large cottonwood
ogs, and has lasted wen for more than
20 years.
Soon this building will not even be
eft. The government is rapidly buying |

AIay. Col. Clendennin and his group NOV
ed up from Kerchival City and within a
few weeks many arrived from Fort
Sheridan. The old fort was dismantled
and all the available material was
freighted to Carol.
A camp Of soldiers was regularly sta
toned at Carol for protection and other
companies came with the large wagon
trains to protect them from Indian in
references or other robberies. The In
dams bothered very little at the new
town, but occasionally a wagon train was
attacked.
The first wagon train to come from
Helena was owned by the Diamond r
companies OF that time. 1t was ac-
companied by two companies Of the 7th
infantry from Fort Shaw and also a
2nd cavalry from Fort Ellis. This OUT
fit was the pathfinder that establish
