"Williston Graphic": from 1895 to 2024

At the tail end of the period now known as the Wild West, when many western North Dakota towns were being established, so were the social systems at their infancy that would begin to lay the groundwork for these new communities.

Williston, N.D., was founded in 1887 as the Great Northern Railroad stretched west. With advertising in the Atlantic Monthly in the early 1900s reading, "Go to Opportunity Land. Get away from the over-crowded East — go where opportunities exist for every man willing to work — where industry reaps generous rewards — where a man is judged by 'what he does' and not by 'what he's worth.' Go to the great, growing, thriving Northwest." New towns began to grow with those enticed by a new frontier.

"Well, here's where it all started. Back in '73, we got accepted to an apprenticeship with an old Dutch Jew diamond cutter in Nevada.
