Conduct Ticket
Sale Drive in City
Fifty-Third Annual Ball VIII Be
Held Thanksgiving Night,
November 26

Ticket sales for the 53rd annual
Thanksgiving ball, to be given by
the Sank Centre Volunteer Fire
Department, are under the direc-
ton Of John Dubois. A house-to-
house canvass, besides the sale
along the business street, Is being
conducted to raise funds which are
necessary for the operation of the
department.
The ball will be held in the Jun
ior High School Auditorium on the
evening of Thanksgiving, Novem-
Der 26th To make this a most en-
joyable evening, the firemen have
secured Bob Lennell and his seven
piece orchestra, to provide good
music.
For fifty-three years the fire
men of this city have conducted
these events for the purpose of
raising money for use in the var
ious phases of the department. The
department, now being confronted
with the state convention to be
held in this city in 1889, wish to
realize a little extra money to
place in fund for that purpose.
Hence, it is hoped that the sale of
tickets will be. greater than in for
mer years.
The firemen deserve the unqual-
flied support Of the community
They receive practically no re-
Enumeration, and use this means of
financing their organization. It is
up to the citizens of the commun-
ity to show their appreciation of
this worthwhile organization by
giving their aid making this years
event the best during fifty-three
years of community service.

William Ekstrand Has
Leased Bjone Building
Will Move Hardware Stock To
New Location January 1st-
Important Change

Several important changes have
taken place on Third Street during
the past year. Following the re-
tirement Of S. c. Bjone from the
grocery business, speculation was
rife as to future occupancy Of the
building. This matter was definite
ly settled Wednesday when William
Ekstrand, Of the Ekstrand Hard
ware, leased the building. He will
move to his new location January
LIST.
One must inquire from the pion-
eer residents of Sank Centre to
learn when there has not been a
hardware store in the building now
occupied by the Ekstrand Hard
ware. This building was erected in
1866 by Kellogg, Chase & Mayo,
and for many years thereafter
these men conducted a general
store there. Following them came
H. p. Gallup Hardware, then Gal
lup & White. Fenton & White,
Rowe Hardware, Willis Howe, Of
to Schleusner, Gordon ingram and
v. G. Wedge. The latter sold the
business to Mr.. Ekstrand.
Since several outside concerns
have been looking for business To-
cations in this city, 1t is unlikely
that the building will remain va
cant for long, If at all. The lease to
the Bjone building was closed by
Morse & Morse.
Mr.. Ekstrand considers the new
location more suitable to his bus
mess, the larger floor area and adj
ditional width offering much bet
ter opportunity for display and
sales.
