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. Equity Store (Farmers), managed by P. B. Bigelow, Cash Store, by Avis A. Tanner, in general merchandise and dry goods; Tress M. Powell, in hardware business; C. H. Unitt, in lumber and hardware ; Morrison Lumber Company ; Max Federle's market ; C. T. Miller's furniture store: Iverson & Meyers and H. E. Leroy in electrical supplies; T. E. Phillips, in the Harrison pharmacy; W. J. Lacy, Ed. G. Meyers and W. I. Carroll each in the garage business ; two good hotels, the Lowry, operated by Lowry & Fleming, and the Commercial, managed by Ferd Federle ; a restaurant managed by the pioneer Ellis Lowry; Z. B. Johnson, the harness man; these attend the supply needs of the community. The two banks are ably managed as heretofore mentioned in more detail. J. A. McClarey is the tonsorial artist, and Frank Beerbower runs a pool hall. Doctor Borglum and the Doctors Priest look after the general health, while F. H. Wallace is the dentist. A. C. Davis is general abstractor, and C. P. Broderick is auctioneer. Airs. Louise Peters operates a creamery station, and there is a movie show twice a week. This is given in the opera house which was erected by the Odd Fellows in nineteen hundred eight.
