A G, A, WALKER. G. A. WALKER. Among the prominent “boosters” for Be- midji, and one who is always to the front when matters are under consideration for the general welfare and advancement of this community, is G. A. Walker, Bemidji agent for the Minnesota & International Railway company. Mr. Walker has been a resident of Be- midji for the past seven years, and during that time he has established an enviable reputation for square dealing and courteous treatment to all with whim he comes in contact, ever living the life of those who would do unto others as they would be done by. As a railroad man of more than the aver- age ability, Mr. Walker is recognized as one with authority and experience. As an employe of the Northern Pacific railway, Mr. Walker served in many capacities with universal satisfaction. filling many positions which required execu‘ive ability more than the ordinary railroad man possesses. Since coming to Bemidji Mr. Walker has accumulated considerable valuable property and is alwayvs on hand when good men are needed to “boost” the city’s greatness. E. E. CHAMBERLAIN. E. E. Chamberlain, local agent for the Gireat Northern Railway company, is among the gentlemen who came to Bemidji when this city was in her “swaddling clothes,” so te speak, and who has stuck to the place until he has seen Bemidji grow from a struggling infant into one of the chief com- mercial centers of this great north country. Mr. Chamberlain was agent at Hillsboro, N. D.. for the Great Northern Railway com- pany, resigning his position in the ‘“Flicker- tail” town and coming to Bemidji eight vears ago, to assume similar duties here, for the same company. Bemidji was somewhat “wild and woolly and untamed,” so to speak, at the time, but Mr. Chamberlain bided his time, and through some excellent foresight in the early days has acquired some valuable prop- erty in this vieinity, which he considers as the “apple of his eye.” In addition to owning some city property, Mr. Chamberlain has a valuable farm, on the banks of Carr lake, a few miles south of Bemidji, where he has farmed on an ad- vanced scale. One of the products of Mr. Chamberlain’s farm are strawberries, and for several years past he has realized hand- somely on the prcducts of his vines, the berries being especcially sought, on account of their excellent flavor and great size, as well as being solid and firm. The berries have been the subject of much very favor- able comment from visitors who have mar- veled at the excellent varieties of berries that can be produced on the cut-over lands of this vicinity. Mr. Chamberlain is a very efficient em- ploye, and is highly regarded by the Great Northern company. E. B. CHAMBERLATIN. DICKIE & CLEVE. The old axiom that ‘‘clothes do not make the man,” may hold good as far as the inner man is concerned, but a well-dressed ‘man, whose clothes are made by a skilled tailor and always present a neat appearance, is generally looked upon as a well-to-do and proseprous individual in watever line of business he may pursue. In Bemidji, the well dressed man, who has style and distinctiveness about his make-up wears the clothing which bears the unmistakable stamp of artists in the HUGH DICKIE. | L BEMIDJI, BELTRAMI COUNTY AND NORTHERN MINNESOTA. P. CLEVE, merchant tailoring line, which is repre- sented by the firm of Dickie & Cleve. The tailooring firm of Dickie & Cleve has a well established reputation among the citizens of Bemidji and vicinity as the producers of well fitting garments which are always up-to-date in fashion. It is in the fit of the garment that Dickie & Cleve excel and as they always have a line of seasonable samples and styles to select from their tailoring is much sought.

The firm of Dickie & Cleve is composed of H. Dickie and P. Cleve. Mr. Dickie is an old resident of Waseca, where he was engaged in the tailoring business, later moving to Bemidji. P. Cleve is an old resident of Bemidji, but for three years past has been living on the Pacific coast. He returned recent- ly to Bemidji and is again making his home here. CITY DRUG STORE. In bringing the name of this firm to widespread notice, we do so with a feel- ing of felicity as well as with business results in view. This store is -classed among our most astaute and effective boomers, and the members thereof have harbored an indomitable faith in the future greatness of Bemidji, a sentiment shared by all our useful citizens and an idea which will surely bear fruit at no distant day. Tt is an established fact that Messrs. R. F. Pepple and E. N. French have clearly won the par excellent record which is inseparable with their place .of busi- ness, and it is with a great deal of pride that we point out this firm as one of our notable business houses. One noticeable feature related to the City Drug Store is the inordinate number of prescriptions which are presented, for it is well known that Mr. Pepple and Mr. French are adepts at compounding. A pure stock of tinctures, extracts and drugs has invoked a trade for them that is appreciable, to say the least, not forget- ting that both gentlemen are as popular personally as they are in a business ‘sense.
