It was just 30 yeurs ago that

thte room that Is now the men's
store of N. K. West & Co.
Next to the building wero threo
vacant lots, the two now occupied
by the store and the ono where
the Gardner building now stands.
Mr. West induced Mr. "rooks to
build a new building on these two
vacant lotB In 1IMMI, and moved
the Btore Into the new building.
The old room was occupied by u
furniture store run by Adeook and
Kinsey. Mr. West says, until 1905
when he toolt over that room Tor
the enlarged store. The rent on
the building at that time was less
than the taxes are today.
Herman Siegrlst one of the
principal owners In the letirlng
firm entered tho business in Sep
tember, 19D7 and William Slegrist
becme a principal partner six
years go.
In 18H9; uncording to Mr. West,

Grande larger than his, tho J. Mu
Berry store, the Chicago Btore run
by Turner Oliver, the New York
Store run by Murphy and Htut
chcll and the Fulr store run by
Fred Geibel.
All the deliveries fur all the
stores were made by the Jackson
transfer and Mr. West says that
thed had a red flag that they dis
played in front of the store wild,
they had made a sale and had
package to go out. He Indicated
Glut each store watched carefully
Ihe number of, times the flag was
put out by its competitors.
Jn those duys Lu Grande was a
town or about 11,000 people, wltn
mud streets and wood sldewnll
It was almost Impossible to ore's
the streets at certain seasons of
the year.
There were two biinks In town,
the Funnel's and Trailers headed

at that time, J. H. Peine In the
jewelry business. W. H, Rohnen-"
