There is. nothing in Bismarck but what does not come up to the high class standard of larger cities. There is not one in Bismarck, who lives in Bismarck now or who has in the past called this city his home but what does not have fond recollections of that friendliness which seems ever dominent at the present time. Long may that feeling live in this, the atmosphere which is wont to mingle be- tween those who.are living and hoping and working with all their ability and might both financially and physically to make Bis- marck the one and only tig city of North Dakota. A prominent New York buziness man who visited Bismarck a few days ago predicted a wonderful future and commercial de- velopment, with a population, which in few years is destined to become twice that of the present time. Now let us all work to that end and there is no doubt that if every one who resides in Bis- marck and the adjacent territory will work with this end in view and be the proud booster, that one can conscientiously say in five years from today—yes in ten years from today, or in fifteen years from today ‘‘I have helped to build this city.’” Bismarck has every advantage of growing to be the foremost and largest city in North Dakota, It is the capital of this great state and there is plenty of punch and pep ir the Bismarck busi- ness men. The citizens are all up and doing, fine residences are being built, streets are being paved, the residence district in sum- mertime is beautiful to gaze upon with its broad boulevards and green trees; it has an enormous territory to draw from in a com. mercial way, and considering all the advantages there is nothinz to deter the growth of Bismarck.

The Bismafiqy@a.Company are e high” going to make big improvements, and in a few months will com- mence the big* spring drive in laying gas mains so that the streets may be paved and so that home owners may have the privilege! of public utility service, with gas piped to their residence, and enjoy the service and have the advantage of a modern gas stove in ‘heir kitchen, with an instantaneous hot water heater in their basement, with hot water at any hour of the day or night; a gas plate in the basement for laundry purposes and for lighting of their homes or business places if they wish. There are thousands of ues for gas which will be told to the public later, but now comes the time when these improvements must be made to pre- pare for the growth of our city. It will require gbout $75,000 to make these improvements and the gas company has devised a way whereby the cititzens can derive-a financial benefit for their effort and at the same time be a stock-holder in the company. Bonds to the amount of $100,000 divided into denominations of $250 per bond, will be offered to the citizens of Bizmarck at a rate of 6’/, interest; the accumula tive value or accrued interest derived from these bonds, if figured on the investment will pay the holder of a $250 bond in return $300. This interest. can be combined quarterly, whereby the investment will be of greater value to the holder. All particulars can be had by inquiring at the offices of the Gas Company, or by postcard addressed to H. J. Chadwick, Bismarck Gas. Co. The issuing of these bonds has the hearty approval of the Bismarck Commercial Club and has been passed by the state of North Dakota . Every citizen is urgently appealed to for their support in this movement, which will not only be a great invest- ment but will mean for the building and growth and welfare of _ & greater future city of Bismarck. ‘‘LET’S GO.” FRANK E.
