Local capitalists invest in North Dakota farms and mills
Whipple and Baird purchased 1,120 acres in Nelson county near Lakota for 12320 cash, expanding a growing portfolio of quarter sections. H. E. Arnold plans a Grand Harbor milk station to buy butter fat at 12 cents per pound, forecasting daily milk flow from about 400 cows, generating substantial farmer revenue and boosting local commerce. Additional plans include new three story brick structures by Wm. H. Brown and M. H. Brennan, signaling a building boom if expansion-minded business men join in Ramsey county.
