CHELSEA.



    The new town of Chelsea is located five and one-half miles from the Edmunds

county line and about one mile from the Spink county line, in Union township and

upon the new extension of the Minneapolis & St. Louis railway from Watertown to

LaBeau.



    It is surrounded by one of the richest settlements in this county if not in

the state of South Dakota.



    With their large and attractively built farm buildings and well tilled broad

acres together with an abundance of artesian water for power and domestic

purposes, assure the rapid building up of a prosperous and enterprising city.

With two reliable banks doing an active but conservative business, enterprising

and prosperous merchants, intelligent and industrious mechanics, a good start

has already been made upon the road to its future greatness.



    The Chelsea Herald, Howard Africa, editor and publisher, a live and

enterprising paper, speaks well through its list of advertisements for the

intelligent business methods of its enterprising citizens.



    While a home maker will give enlarged cultivation and increasing prosperity

to a surrounding agricultural region it offers to the active up-to-date

professional and business man a most desirable location.



    A railroad ride of ten miles west through a well cultivated, beautiful

country dotted with fine farm buildings and pleasant homes, brings you to the

rapidly growing town of Cresbard.
