Northland Sales and Service

Back in 1909, the corner of this lot was sold to Henry Ash who built a small frame building that was the first home of the public library in 1911. The second lot was occupied by John Berg's old store which he moved there in 1910. The Parlor Theatre, which had previously been in the village hall, occupied the building for a while. Other business places that occupied it were J.R. Harmon Feed Store, Gus Swendson Store, Holler Tire and Battery, Falls Plumbing and Heating, George Gedney's Repair Shop, and Falls Creamery. In 1955, Baxter Boe moved Falls Creamery to his new building on Fifth Avenue and Fourth Street. On April 16, 1956, fire damaged the old buildings so badly that they had to be torn down. On January 26, 1968, the Daily Journal began moving into the new building that had been built by Harry Davey of North Star Publishing. The Daily Journal relocated in 1974 and the building has been sold several times and housed numerous businesses.
