CLAY COUNTY ILLUSTRATED 



Clay County Comes 

 Into Her Own 



Hers has been the tale that wagged the entire northern part of the state. What 

 has been accomplished in Clay county has been used to advertise other sec- 

 tions of Minnesota and North Dakota. In this publication nothing outside 

 the county has been given space — there is no need of it. The only need is 

 more space — to show the advantages of this splendid county, and to record 

 the success of the men who have developed her resources. 



A Frosty Morning, on the Buffalo River, North of Glyndon 



George M. Gunderson, the boy on the cover, is a prize-winning, twelve-year- 

 old product of Clay county. The corn is "White Rustler and was grown by 

 the lad in 1915. He was awarded second prize, in the ten county district in 

 the middle western part of the state, at the First National Corn Show at St. 

 Paul in December last. He won a trip to the State Fair on his ten ear exhibit 

 at the Crookston show. He also won another trip to the State Fair in the 

 State acre yield contest ; but is three years too young — so he will only make 

 one trip to the fair this year. _
