CLAY COUNTY ILLUSTRATED 



Where the Big Community Picnic Was Held 



for the amusement of all. There were 

 sports and ball games, addresses and 

 music, and everywhere friends and 

 neighbors to greet and visit with; and 

 all attractions had a full audience at 

 all times. 



The dinner hour was enjoyed in the 

 usual way, congenial groups of friends 

 gathering about their full baskets in 

 shady spots wherever fancy dictated. 

 A snapshot taken from the top of the 

 75-foot embankment of the Northern 

 Pacific Railroad shows how the crowd 

 disported itself over the grounds. 



It is the plan of the union to make 

 this annual picnic the great day of 

 the year for Clay County. 



The wealth of many Clay County 

 farmers is estimated at from $40,000 

 to $200,000 each, and every dollar has 

 been taken from the soil. 



Growers Four 



Briggs Brothers, growers, would be 

 an appropriate name in every way for 

 the four who are engaged in growing 



Part of W. R. Briggs' Greenhouses 



things in Clay County. Not only do 

 they grow all sorts of things but they 

 always strive to grow the best. If 

 they keep on growing for a few years
