He is alert, he is courteous, he is on the level, he knows a good thing when he sees it, and Bemidji and Beltrami county constitute the two good things he has in his mind’s eye at present. Mr. Bisiar is wide-awake, congenial, and he has the happy faculty of anticipating the varied wants of a fickle public to the extent oif sur- feit, MRS. J. J. CONGER. There is not a woman in Beltrami county who does not know, either personally or by reputation, Mrs. J. J. Conger, Bemidji’s foremost milliner. This estimable lady maintains the most completely stocked mil- linery store to be found in this portion of the state, and that her efforts to gratify every individual taste has been met with generous patronage and appreciation is manifest by the class and amount ot the trade which comes to her store. This mecca for hat shoppers is located at 209 Fourth street, just around the corner from the postoffice, and it is easy for those who call for mail to take a few steps out of their way in order to view the most tastily appointed millinery store in Beltrami county, Mrs. Conger has been a life long milliner. She has occupied her present location for five vears, and from the moment of the opening of this store, she became the ac- knowledged milliner of the city. From the beginning until now, Mrs. Conger has car- ried the most extensive line of millinery goods to be found in this section, and not only the most diversified line, but goods of the highest class as well as those of nom- inal cost. Mrs. Conger’s stock is replete with the latest styles in hats of every de- sceription, hat trimmings, plumes, flowers, ribbons and the many “dear nothings” so dear to the feminine heart. She is an ex- pert in her particular line; she possesses artistic taste in the execution of the trim- ming entrusted to her, and her creations in the matter of hats have invoked the admi- ration of all customers. Mrs. Conger is not one of those sales- women who attempt to palm off an inferior article or an unbecoming hat. She is ex- tremely painstaking when it comes to “matching” a hat to ornament the head, and in that important branch of the busi- ness she is an adept, having a natural pen- chant and an observant eye in harmonizing colors to suit complexions and contour. The same ladies who patronized her from the first day of her advent into business here are still her patrons, and this circumstance is significant of the fact that they have re- ceived everything they had anticipated. The store is prettily arranged, the walls hold French plate glass mirrors, and the decorations of the store generally are in- deed pleasing to behold. The different hats are attractively exhibited, and it is no trouble to make a choice out of the beauti- ful array which greets the eye. Mrs. Conger can supply any shape or size of hat desired, and always trims it accord- ing to the dictates of the purchaser. She charges no more for a high-class hat than others charge for an inferior one, and she conducts the business on metropolitan plans. Mrs. Conger is a thorough business woman, she is well versed in her chosen profession, she is anxious to please all comers, and it is owing to these attributes that she has succeeded to the extent she has.
