D O N T h st U e Ve e BWOM ot W ! ! «s ~d SN R AR BEMIDJI, BELTRAMI COUNTY AND terests, and who are never backward in tell- ing of the good things which Bemidji pos- sesses, and the brilliant future that awaits this city. Mr. Waldo, who established the business of the Bemidji Tea Store, was formerly in the employ of the Sundby Tea company of Duluth, and it was while acting as delivery- man in this city for the Duluth company that Mr., Waldo was duly impressed with the enterprise so evident here, and he de- cided to start in business here for himself. Mr. Waldo has never regretted his decision to identify himself with Bemidji business interests, as his success here has been a matter of much gratification to him. John Sandin, the new member of the firm, came to Bemidji two years ago from Min- neapolis. He was ac¢ one time baggageman on the Sauk Centre-Bemidji run of the G. N. railway. Mr. Sandin was for some time in the employ of the Melges Bros. Co., visit- ing northern Minnesota towns in the inter- est of that company; and he is thoroughly well acquainted in all these places. The Bemidji Tea Store buys all its goods direct from the importers, conse- quently, the profits that usually go to the jobbers and wholesalers are saved to the consumer, as he gets his goods direct, with- out the middleman’s profit; and the Be- midji Tea Store more than makes up the difference in handsome presents to its cus- tomers. All their goods are -guaranteed fresh and pure, and subject to the fullest investigation and trial. This store makes a specialty of butter and eggs, at reduced prices. The company . has large stocks of coffee, tea, soap, baking powder, extracts, spices, etc., ete., the prices of which are so low as to attract wide- spread attention of buyers everywhere throughout the north country. .JERRARD & COVINGTON. . An enterprising firm of young hustlers who are always wide-awake to the best interests of Bemidji and the surrounding territory is composed of Messrs. E. H. Jer- rard and J. C. Covington, who transact business under the firm name of Jerrard & Covington, and who condcut a large hard- ware store, and are contract plumbers of many years’ experience. : Messrs. Jerrard and Covington are among Bemidji’s best known firms and they have made themselves popular with the public through their square dealing and prompt services in all branches of their business. BE. H. Jerrard, the senior member of; the firm of Jerrard & Covington, E. H. JERRARD. came to- J. C. COVINGTON. Bemidji from St. Cloud in August, 1899, being one of the first to arrive here and take up his abode in the frontier town of the northern woods. Mr. Jerrard at once put his shoulder to the wheel along with the other pioneers who builded a solid foundation for the most progressive city of north-central Minnesota, and the new-comer at once demonstrated his right to be called a “booster” and a progressive young busi- ness man of the thirty-third degree. ‘*Ned” Jerrard soon took a prominent place among Bemidji’s early hustlers, and was promi- nently identified with the eariy history of the city. Mr. Jerrard conducted the first plumbing business in Bemidji, and he built ruch of the early lines of piping about the city. In 1905, J. C. Covington, who had come to the city the previous year, joined forces with Mr. Jerrard and the two gentlemen engaged more extensively in the plumbing and heating business, with much success. In the fall of 1907, Messrs. Jerrard & Cov- ington decided to engage in the hardware business, as well as the plumbing and heat- ing business, and they immediately put in a splendid stock of hardware of all kinds. The success of the firm, since putting in the hardware stock, has been even more pronounced than when they were engaged exclusively in plumbing and heating. They handle full stocks of boiler and en- gine trimmings, pipe and pipe fittings, gaso- line motors and launches; and they are plumbing contractors on a large scale. Jerrard & Covington have a large boat house, on Lake Bemidji, where there are slips for rent to any persons desiring the same. INDIANS GATHERING RICE. NORTHERN MINNESOTA. A. D. MOE, PIONEER TAILOR. “Go and see Moe; he will fix you out fine.” The above is a familiar expression, and | one which is in universal use in Bemidji, | with relation to “men folks’ togs.” } From the time Bemidji was in her “swad- | dling clothes,” so to speak, Bemidjians have | been accustomed to speak of A. D. Moe as THE merchant tailor of the town, and “Go ! and see Moe; he will fix you out,” has been | the answer given to anxious inquiries as to | where one could have a fine suit made to .order on short notice and in a neat, work- | manlike manner. : And Mr. Moe has never given occasion for ! any person to regret the confidence placed in his ability or reliability. It makes no difference whether it is a broadcloth suit for a groom, or a natty business suit for the every-day hustler, “Go | and see Moe, he will fix you out fine.” Coming to this city from Fargo, N. D., nine years ago, Mr. Moe has, by his uni- | versally square dealing and genial disposi- tion, become a great favorite with the citi- zens of Bemidji who appreciate good-fitting clothes made in the latest fashion from the best fabrics. Mr. Moe has always been a loyal “boost- er” for Bemidji, and he is thoroughly im- ! bued with that spirit of progressiveness which pervades the bosom of every resident of this ‘“Hub City of the North.” Mr. Moe makes a specialty of cutting and fitting, and also cleaning and pressing. A splendid line of up-to-date spring sam- ples of fabrics, is now shown by Mr. Moe, and he will make you a fine suit, according to directions, in short time. | “Go and see Moe; he will fix you out fine.” A. E. SCHUSSER, Superintendent Pioneer Job Department.
