Farband organized cooperative insurance and medical services and Yiddish language adult education for its worker members. Farband was active all over the U. S., primarily in the East.

Taken in front of the Glass Block on Atlantic Avenue [Block 12 Lot 1 Original Town]. See Western Minnesota Fireman's Tournament Ass'n, July 2-3, 1909. ID from The Morris Tribune, June 25, 1927. There were no roaring motorized fire trucks thirty year ago but who is there to gainsay that the Morris fire department laddies of that day did not have all the pride in the world in their then up-to-the-minute equipment? And, as far as that goes, that the boys themselves were not just about the most efficient and best-trained bunch of fire-fighters to be found anywhere? The above picture, taken in 1909 in front of the Spooner Glass Block (the present postoffice entrance can be seen at the right), shows the company members all spruced up in their uniforms, together with the department FS horse-drawn truck. The team shown in the illustration was a Minneapolis Brewing Company team used by the department. Its driver was Mealon Cousins, shown in the center of the trio on the seat. Max Trantow, present chief of the fire department, was chief at the time the above picture was taken. He was first elected chief in 1905 and has served steadily in that capacity ever since. Members of the department are: Left front, J.A. Guter; rear front, W.C. Borrill and S.J. Stebbins; on wagon seat, left to right, F.E. Ware, Mealon Cousins (driver), L.S.
