In giving a general writeup of
Condon's different business firms
one can hardly do them justice.
The pictures given in this issue.
however, will serve a better pur
pose in giving an idea of the
great growth within a few years.
In the same way that wheat
raising has grown on an exten
sive scale, so have the business
firms grown, until today the gen
eral merchandise stores are car
rying any article needed by the
people of the county.
It was only a few years ago
that many of these firms were
doing business in small frame
buildings when the trade was
attended to by one or two men,
Today they remind us of the de
partment stores of the city,
where numerous clerks are al
ways busy waiting on the custom
ers with the most courteous treat

The above picture gives a good idea of Durin'Bros.' establishment, one of Condon's up-tc-date general merchandise stores, where almost any article
may be purchased. It is an interior view of the main floor. The firm first started business in this city in 1893, when Condon's business section was
made up of only a dozen frame buildings. In those days two men attended to the wants of the customers. Today a force of six men are always busy
waiting on the trade. The building now occupied by this firm was the first brick built in the city, and, although at that time it was thought much too
large a building, the firm is now making plans to enlarge the floor space. Three warehouses are now necessary to store goods for carrying
on the business. Dunn Bros., have had a raoid crowth and their business is increasing daily. They carry a full line of groceries, shoes, furnishings,
cutjery, tin and granite ware, McCormick machinery, etc., besides doing an extensive business as agents for Lamm & Co., the Chicago tailors.
