Boost for Hinton
Growth and development of our city
Pen sketches of our Representative Business Men and the Vocations that have
made them important factors in the upbuilding of our city ----These men are
boosters! Will you help them boost? Then do your trading at home.
Hinton is a thriving town in Plymouth county Iowa 11 miles north of Sioux
City on the Illinois Central, Great Northern and the Northwestern lines of
railroad near the Floyd river which lends its wooded banks to the
picturesqueness of the beautiful rich valley with the gently undulating
uplands on either side all forming a living picture which nature has
provided for the site of the town. It is a good business point with a good
grain stock and produce market and our merchants are ever on the alert to
put forth such inducements as will serve the best interests of the
surrounding country trade which is far reaching . Few other places of the
same population have more well stocked stores than this same town of Hinton
and practically everything for use on the farm in the home or on the person
can be procured from Hinton merchants.
The society in and and around Hinton is of a good character; We have two
churches' the United Evangelical and the Methodist Episcopal, both
denominations enjoying a good membership and very nice congregations.
Educational facilities are well supported here and it is a happy commentary
that our school is largely attended. Hinton has a number of
popular societies and lodges and the membership is gratifyingly large among
which is the Hinton Commercial club. Which was organized a year ago a
membership of 30. There are excellent express and telephone accommodations,
pleasant and accommodating railway agents sound financial institutions in
the security bank and bank of Hinton both being private institutions. The
Hinton Gazette furnishes you with an excellent advertising medium.
Our postal facilites are of the best and are efficiently carried on by
Postmaster M.H.Mammen. We have four rural mail carriers who are James
Crouch,Wm Loraditch, Will Reynolds and Dave March.
The price of real estate here today is low considering its value and
prospect of future appreciation.
Already the residence portion has almost doubled in the last few years
and something new appears on the scene every few weeks. Much in the way of
improvements have been accomplished in the past two years by the building
of cement sidewalks all over town, a new fire bell has been erected, next
year a water system and electric light plant is contemplated and possibly
one or two brick business buildings. The future of Hinton is bright with the
bow of promise.
Some of the business in Hinton now are: F.W.Dahlman, Blacksmith and wagon
shop; Hans Howalt, the general merchant; B.F.Bogenreif & son Hardware;
S.H.Bowman lumber co. W.G.Pearson , mgr.; George Klaiber and Nick Klaiber
well diggers, tile layers, etc.; E.M.Winter general merchandise; Thorpe
Elevator co. grain, flour, feed; J.H.Levins, barber; J.H.Thompson livery
and feed stable; M.H.Mammen druggist; The Budweiser Bar, T.D.Graham;
Snyder brothers hogs cattle and hores; Jahn & Bornholtz bowling alley and
pool hall; Held Bros. thoroughbred coach horses shorthorn cattle.
