THE PIONEER PRINTERY ABOUT OURSELVES. This newspaper and printing and stationery plant has been established for the past thirteen years—from the time when Bemidji was a hamlet. During its six years’ of existence as a daily publica- tion and thirteen years as a weekly, it has exploited every real advantage, both natural and creative, that Bemidji and Bel- trami county has to offer and for which they are noted. During its tenure of service The Pioneer has been loyal, patriotic, clean, ; neatly printed and public spirited. At Fresident, no time has it condescended to stultify its CLYDE J. PRYOR reputation as an honorable publication, : neither can it be accused of the sins of ommission or commission. The legion friends of the Pioneer concede that The Pioneer is the most influential and the best-gotten-up newspaper in North-Central Minnesota, and that the matter contained in its columns daily tend to benefit: the locality. They confess that The Pioneer has served as a potent factor in bringing prospective home-seekers to Bemidji and Beltrami county; that it has built up men who were deserving and relegated those who were not worthy of public esteem. Withal, The Pioneer has been a loyal public servant, doing yeoman serv- ice whenever called upon, and reflecting news in a manner ‘which has won for it widespread notice. The Pioneer Printery employs from 20 to 25 persons, constantly, seven of whom support families, and the balance are all home people who are firm believers in patronizing home industries and home in- stitutions. During the past year, The Pioneer paid out in salaries for labor alone over $10,000, all of which sum went to sup- port these patrons of home industries and home institutions. The Pioneer is exceedingly loyal to its V. L. ELLIS, home city and to the merchants of Be- midji. The Daily and Weekly Pioneer are much sought after by foreign adver- tisers, many of 'whom produce articles and goods which come in direct contest with local concerns. Such class of adver- tisers are firmly refused space in The Pioneer, although we have frequently been offered as high as 50 cents per inch for advertisements. The Pioneer carries the largest stock of stationery, supplies of all kinds, print- ers’ stock, etc., of any similar concern in northern Minnesota, and is always pre- pared to furnish all classes of stock to its patrons. In the matter of commercial printing, The Pioneer Printery is unexcelled in northern Minnesota. We have the very latest in the line of presses, and we are constantly adding new and up-to-date type faces, with the result that our print- ALBERT KAISER, Secretary and Business Manager. A.
