New Co-Operative Town

A new town has been added to the map of Wright County and is called Solberg, in honor of Austin Solberg. It is located on the Chicago Great Western and about midway between Clarion and Rowan The new town is brought into existence on a cooperative project basis and it started by a farmer's co-operative society, the articles of incorporation of which become effective this coming week. The leading industries of the place, including the local market store, will be conducted by the society on plans that have made a similar institution at Rockwell so successful.
