The following appeared in the Rock County News on Dec. 8, 1892:KNISS & HUNTINGTONReal Estate, Loan and Insurance AgentsThis firm needs no introduction to the people of Rock County, but to our other readers it gives the News pleasure to present the names of these enterprising and reliable men. P.J. Kniss, the senior member, located in this county twenty-three years ago, before the government survey, and was for several years president of the First National Bank, of which he was the principal organizer; he is also well known throughout the state having served three terms in the Minnesota State Legislature. C.E. Huntington has been in our city for nearly nine years a part of the time acting as cashier of the First National Bank, since which time he has been with Mr. Kniss. These gentlemen are well acquainted with the lands in this and adjoining counties, and can give customers the benefit of their knowledge as to value and quality of lands. They have a large list of lands for sale in Rock County, the "Banner County of the West;" they also have a fine list of desirable property in our city of Luverne, besides lands in Brooking County, South Dakota. They are prepared to loan money on first mortgages at reasonable rates; no long delays in getting money. Customers can pay interest at their office and get their coupons, thus saving the trouble of sending money themselves and waiting for the loan companies to return coupons whenever they get ready. If fire insurance is wanted they can insure you in any one of the several old reliable companies that are absolutely safe. Call and see them if anything is wanted in their line; they will always be found pleasant, ready for business and will use you well whether you are able to deal with them or not.
