Little note was made of the
fact but last Thursday was the
tenth anniversary of an import
ant addition to Redwood Falls

modelled Farrell and Keefe
building at Mill and Second,
August 10, 1929. l.. E. Swanson,
first manager, went from here
to bigger fields and is row re-

manager, now manages the firms

ford Arnett, former assistant
manager here, now operates the
Brookings, South Dakota, store
ard numerous other Of the firms
employees here have found it a
stepping stone. Harold Pryor, a
local boy who grew up with the
firm and is now an important
executive in the Chicago office,
was instrumental in having the
firm locate here. H. A. Schenck
succeeded Hendricks here, il
September 1884 and the business
under his regime has continued
to grow steadily.
Ehlers and Habicht, a modern
department store, opened in the
Hardy building March 4, 1888,
having purchased the lease and
fixtures of the New Palace. Mar
tin Ehlers is manager of the
store, one of several in which
the Habicht family of Worthing-

president of the Civic and Com
merce association.

HICHWAYS.3HELPED
EXPAND AREA
PROGRESSIVE STORE
KEEPERS TYPICAL
FOR rs YEARS

from pioneer to modern
days, Redwood Falls claim
to fame has been it's enter
prise in retail trade.
Even in an early day the
city and the large rich COM
munity around it supported
large stores and numerous
shops which brought the
community the best and lat
est merchandise at reason
able prices. The city's mark
cts for farm produce are
and for many years have
been the link which brought
in cash for produce, the life
blood of trade in a rural COM
munity.
Enterprise of Redwood Falls
merchants dates back to the fur
trader who sent scouts from the
city to divert trappers bound
for ST. Paul from the west into
the city. 1t is with no less an
eye for business that today's
merchant keeps apace with new
store fronts ard fixtures, travels
personally to Chicago and New
York markets to select his wares
and aggressively advertises over
an area extending 30 and 40
miles from the city. That the city
ranks above all Minnesota towns
its size and many larger in re-
tail volume is evidence that pro-
gressivenesS pays.
Service of merchants has not
been confined to trade, however,
as many have served the city in
other ways, on the village and
city council, as mayor, on the
county board and in the legiSla-
ture-helping to make and en-
force laws and ordinances to
make the city more attractive
and satisfactory place, both for
those who would make their
homes here and those who come
for periodic business.
Not Overnight
Many of the pioneer firms
are gone today but oldsters
know and appreciate what COM
parative newcomers might for
get-that the city's reputation as
a trading point has been built
not on a sale or series of sales
but over generations. The
groundwork for the vast expan-
sion which naturally followed
improved roads and motor cars
was laid while teams and trains
furnished the only transporta-
ton.
Oldest retail firm in the city
and one still operated by the son
of it's founder is Aune and
Thune, the only exclusive mems
store in the community. Mr..
Aune'S advent into business here
is told elsewhere and his civic
activities enumerated. While
serving in the legislature he died
June 5, 1887, less than a month
after he celebrated half cen
tury of business progress,
through two fires and numerous
depressions. Mr.. Thune died IA
years ago. Harold S. Aune was
the junior member of the firm
and has carried on from his
fathers death, assisted by his
sister, Irene Aune.
Charles F. Gales became es-
tablished in business here in
February 1905 and except for a
year after his Palace Clothing
company burned in January
1881, has been a leader in city
business circles. The present
Gales store, opened March 10,
1892, has enjoyed trade from a
wide area and is one of the
city's showplaceS.

Representative B. c. Papy, of

BAROMETER FOR
FISHING SHOWS
some CHANGES
YELLOWTAILS TAKE PLACE
OF KINGFIsH: TARPoN SEA-
SON IN oFFING WITH MORE
FISHERMEN TO COME HERE

The fishing barometer shows its
first change for quite some time.
Yesterday the Demeritt Broth
ers, who know more about fish
ing than anyone else in Key
West, brought in their first catch
of yellowtail this season, 200
pounds of 'em.
During the winter they have
been kingfishing, but they report
that kingfish schools are growing
scarcer and that they will be
starting to bring in the delectable
yellowtails instead. Other fisher
men on the reef have been re-
porting the waters around the
protective big rocks" are alive
with yellowtail.
This does not mean that king
fish will disappear suddenly
from these waters, The charter
boat fishermen whlA continue to
bring them in during the re-
mainder of the season, but they
will not be present in the amount
commercial fishermen require.
With the next full moon tarpon
fishermen will be coming here in
earnest. The Florida Keys, with
its hundreds of channels pouring
in between wide flats, are ideal
for catching the sporty silver
king moving through the moon
lit waters of the channel. Added
to the regular deepsea anglers
will be another group of tarpon
fishermen who will shortly begin
their night runs.
