FORSTERS MARK
FORTIETH YEAR
FOUR STORES OBSERVE
FOUNDING IN 1898
AT SPRINGFIELD

The Forster store group of
which the Redwood Falls store
was the second is this month OBJ
serving the fortieth anniversary
of the founding of the first store
at Springfield by George P. For
ster. st. James and Fairmont
stores are also owned by the firm.
The Redwood Falls location was
first occupied by Otto Grapp in
1913 who first had a space 20 by
60 feet. He later enlarged the
store three times. Emil Buenger
took over the business in Deem
Der 1924 and sold it to Forsters in
1929. They increased the store I'M
til now it occupies more than
eight times its original space.
From an original organization
of two men, the concern has
grown to a force of 33 persons.
The original store covered 1000
square feet. There are now $500
square feet of display space and
l5,400 square feet of warehouse
space. The stock now carried is
more than 20 times as great as in
1898.
Mr.. Forster took his two sons,
Vincent and Arion, into partner
ship when they were quite young.
Managers of the stores are part
ners ard other employees are on
a profit-sharing basis.
"One of the biggest forward
steps taken by our business" Mr..
Forster believes, twas when we
joined Retail Stores Service, large
furniture buying group. This has
given us the benefit of the exper-
fence of 800 of the leading stores
in the country. We are at all times
kept advised as to trends in styles,
prices and best values"

Delhi One Up on Wabasso,
Teams Meet Again Sunday
RABBITS, LOSERS Ia,
SEEK NEEDED WIN
IN SECOND GAME

Delhi and WabaSSo will tangle
at Delhi Sunday in the second
game of the Redwood county lea
que championship series. Delhi
COPIED the first game at Wabasso
this week and if the Scots win
again. they will represent the loop
in the regional baseball meet. If
not a third game will be played,
at the town having the largest
gate receipts in the two previous
games.
Delhis II to 4 victory was
earned on a sun-baked diamond
which made ground balls hotter
than usual, apparently, as nine
errors were chalked in the rather
loosely played game.
Binger, Delhi hurlirg ace, al
though not as effective as on the
previous Sunday pitched steadily
all the way and was particularly
stingy in the pinches. After his
mates gave him a five run lead
in the fifth, he coasted to victory.
He held the Wabasso hitterS to
six well scattered hits and fan
ned II.
Bauer on the mound for Wa
baSSo was batted hard by the
Delhi sluggers yielding Is hits,
nine of which were punched in
two innings. Aside from these
two innings, however, he pitched
well and sent II down swinging.
Two big innings won the game
Tor Delhi. In the fifth two errors
plus four hits climaxed by A.
Dirlam's single with the bases
loaded scored five runs and in
the eighth a five-hit attack fea-
tured by Kramer's long triple &C
counted for four more.
WabaSSo scored one in the third,
one in the seventh and two in the
eighth. In the latter inning sue
ceSSiVe home runs by R. Berg and
Bauer accounted for the two runs
after which Binger frightened and
allowed no further scoring.
Batting honors for the day went
to Snyder of WabaSso who gath
cred four hits, while Kramer, E.
Berg and Petersen of Delhi had
three each.

REPRESENTATIVES, OF
SEVERAL STATES IN
CROWD ON TOUR

"Most towns don't invite k
back again. University of Min
nesota student who accompanied
the motorcycle gypsy tour to Red
wood Falls Saturday and Sunday,
stated sadly.
Members of the Redwood Falls
Civic and Commerce association,
however, said the group was GER
tainly welcome here again. They
estimated that the 500 riders who
came here for their annual rally
left between $4,000 and $4,000 in
town.
They were a clean looking
bunch, coming from every walk
of life, their bond an enthusiasm
for cycling.
Just here for good time and
no other reason" the cyclists said.
The cash prizes offered for events
at the fairgrounds Sunday after
noon were small and certainly
had no part in bringing the riders
here.
They said the tours originated
in 1917 and have been an annual
event since.
Beauties in Crowd
Lots of pretty girls accompan-
led the caravan. Some of them are
riders and others members of the
Women'S auxiliarieS to the Twin
Cities clubs. Auxiliary members
are wives and "girl friends" of
club members.
do you join the tours to meet
old friends?" They were asked.
No, they said, cyclists on the
tours mostly travel in cliques, but
motorcyclists are always friendly
to other motorcyclists, attracted to
each other by their love of the
sport.
1t has golf and tennis and
other sports beat all hollow" &C
cording to the university man. 1t
furnishes transportation as well
as thrilling sport and the basis of
endless and heated arguments on
the relative merits of various
makes of machines.
There were a few minor mis-
hapS.
A physician was called when a
girl at Hotel Ramsey became hyS-
terical, probably because of the
strain of the trip and accompany
ing excitement.
Sometime during the night one
of the boys, a telephone lineman,
dropped a glass on his foot cut
ting a vein. The wound required
several stitches.

Is your Father like mine?

Is your Father like mine?
My Father pretends to think
that all sentiment is the bunk.
That makes him very funny
about getting presents or
giving them either.
When Father buys a present for
Mother or me, he always makes
out that it is something very
casual or accidental.
For example, when l was thir-
teen, he gave me a wristwatch
for my birthday. 1t wasn't all
wrapped up in fancy paper or
anything like that. He just fished
it out Of his vest pocket and said:
eHere, son, try this and see if
it fits your wrist.''
And when he brings flowers to
Mother, he just lays them on the
hall table and says, "Thought

Father is the same way about
getting presents. When you give
him something, he gets all en-
barras:ed and usually comes out
with something like, 'fImmm.
What's this all about?"
1guess most Fathers are like that,
They give you things all the
time and don't want you to feel
that they're really giving YOU
anything at all. But when yost
give them a present, they act as
though you had done something
you shouldn't.
This is why you have to Be care
full on Fathers Day which
is June 18th, next Sunday.

CAREY'S CAMP In
SUSSEX NOW OPEN
tcOntinusd from First Page,

This is one of the. three large
campmeetings remaining in Sussex
county out of at least Is which
fiourished each summer so to IS
years ago. Delmarva Camp, located
at Broad Greek, between Laurel and
Seaford, and James Camp, which
closed last Sunday night after a 10
day session are the others.
Delmarva is now in progress, haV-
ing started on August 6. Il will con-
tinue over four Sundays, and is the
largest on the Peninsula.
For religious fervor, however, none
seem to equal Carey's Camp. Here
is displayed the oid-time revival
spirit. Meetings have been known
to start at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
and continue until 2 O'Clock the
next morning without interruption.
Like other campgrounds, Carey's
has become more modernistic, with
a tendency to do away with the old
time firestands for lighting the
grounds. On nearly all Of the camp
grounds lighting plants have been
installed or current is supplied from
some highpowered lines.
