New Town [North Dakota] Golden Jubilee, 1951 - 2001

Braaten, Annette, & Business II Class, booklet-compilers

[New Town]: New Town Chamber of Commerce, 2001. Paperback. Unpaginated, perhaps 200 pages, consisting almost exclusively of captioned b&w photos of unexceptionable local buildings which house city services (domestic violence resource, etc.), businesses (auto parts, etc.), you name it. Captions retail to us the names of original owners, years in operation, who is the current operator, whether or not building was modified (now there's a room in back), and so forth Nice clean copy, hasn't been over-handled.

"On January 1, 1951, our town was a stubble field with only one small building.." but flood control of the Mississippi River allowed construction of what's got to be the flattest collection of malls and suburbia ever to descend on the American continent. Photographic proof.
