Jones & Company are large realty dealers of Dalton ; they have handled several hundred families in farms and also deal in city property. Due to the growing business Mr. Jones took into partnership in 1913, A. J. Jorgenson, who had been the local manager of the McNish Land Company. The Western Realty Company was organized in 1906 with W. E. Swartzlander as president. This company always has a large list of farm properties for sale or rent with automobiles ready to take the prospective buyer to look at land.

Today Dalton is well represented in church

work and civic improvement institutions. It is remarkable the growth the town has had within such a short period, and as it serves an agricultural community all its business is necessarily such as supplies the wants of the farms and the progressive owners who trade in Dalton. Its main business street has many good and attractive business houses ; the stores are up-to-date in stock equipment and service and all are doing a fine business.

A traveler arriving by train sees the twostory hotel just across the street from the statu m. It is enjoying a fine trade and already is growing small for the accommodation of the traveling public. This house was conducted by W. N. Foster who also kept a ranch ten miles from town.

Dalton now has a population of about three hundred and fifty, two excellent banks, and four elevators. Its mercantile interests are well represented. The Farmers and Merchants Bank, and the Dalton State Bank look after financial affairs, which is an undertaking in a wheat town where elevators of the capacity of those at Dalton are in evidence. Three hundred and forty-one cars of wheat were shipped from Dalton of the 1920 crop to the close of the year.
