Bismarck is the home of one of-the fast- est- growing and most successful life insur- ance companies in the northwest. Its devel- opment in any other center would be regard- ed as phenomenal. In Bismarck it is con- sidered more or less as a matter of course, because that is the Bismarck way. Bismarck’s foundry and machinery busi- ness from a small beginning has developed, into an industry which serves the whole slope and which has branched out into the manu- facture of staple articles heretofore «not available this side of the Twin Cities. Bismarck’s repair shops save the whole Slope time and money, eliminating the long wait and the heavy express charges on ship- ments which otherwise would have to go in- to the Twin Cities or even more distant points. Bismarck can do and does these things ona metropolitan scale because it has a great trade area to serve. It is a class of trade which demands quality service and gets it. Whether it be dainty hemstitching and picoting, or kodak finishing, or a new part for the tractor or a spark plug or set of tires for the car, or a new Yale lock or a new key for an old lock; whether: it be an old dress to be made over or redyed, or a hat to be blocked in-the latest mode, or a new suit demanded on short notice; whether it be new linoleum for the kitchen floor, or a coat of paint for the barn, or new furniture for the best room, or wall paper for the whole house, Bismarck is ready to meet the demand. People are still buying buggies, and they come to Bismarck for 'them just as they did 25 years ago. They come to Bismarck for training in voice, piano and violin; they send their boys and girls to Bismarck ‘for a com- mercial education; when they are sick they come to Bismarck’s splendid hospitals, know- ing that no more skillful treatment is ob- tainable anywhere. If it’s merely a few days’ outing, they come to Bismarck for it, rely- ing upon the splendid hospitality of Bis- marck’s big hotels, knowing that the city always affords something better in the way of entertainment. Bismarck is “home” to a greater number of people scattered over a wider territory than any other city in North Dakota. And there is a reason. Bismarck’s latchstring al- ways is ‘out; Bismarck always is glad to see folks; strangers are made to feel that they are welcome here; they are shown that their friendship and their patronage is appreci- ated, and when Bismarck says “Come again,” it is not an idle phrase but a sincere invita- tion, backed up by generous impulses not ail bound round with the ties of commercialism. If you chance to be among the few who haven’t the Bismarck habit, acquire it. You'll like Bismarck, and Bismarck will like you.
