Harrison of Today

Sioux county may be said to be a county of but one village organization. The other stations on the railroad are not of much consequence, and none of them has a bank. Such mercantile business as is carried on there is very light, and merely an adjunct to the postoffices generally. Andrews and Glen are on the Northwestern railroad, and no other station is named on that road or the Burlington. In the interior of the county are a number of postoffices and small stores for the convenience of their immediate neighborhoods and the pressing wants thereof. Much of the merchandising needs of Sioux county are supplied by towns and cities in adjoining counties, on the east and south particularly. But the business of Harrison is substantial and may best be shown by its variety in the following list : Marsteller & Sons, Koch Mercantile.
