Do You Want Cash.
______
J. H. Hallet wants all the people to pick blueberries and he will pay cash for the same at his trading post near the railroad bridge. Do not take trade for berries as some of the people did last year, but go to him and get cash and trade where you like. "Cash is king" and Hallett is the king.
J. H. HALLETT.
(Brainerd Dispatch, 03 July 1885, p. 3, c. 3)
Last Saturday afternoon a small barn belonging to J. H. Hallett, at the Indian trading post, caught fire by some accidental cause. A 25 pound keg of powder was stored in the barn and when it exploded it shattered the small building, and the explosion jarred the ground for fully ten blocks. (Brainerd Dispatch, 25 June, 1886, p. 4, c. 5)
J. H. Hallett will remove to Park Rapids where he will engage in the fish and trading business with the Indians. (Brainerd Dispatch, 29 April 1892, p. 4, c. 3)
