f g U P ———— This well-known abstract and title company has existed from the time Be- midji was a hamlet, and even before that. The woriginal company was com- posed of F. S. Arnold, Matt Phibbs, Frank Snyder and L. H. Bailey, who con- ducted the business up to the time they transferred their interests to those now in control. The Beltrami Abstract com- pany ‘is incorporated for $12,000; it owns considerable tracts of farm lands in Beltrami county and the members of the company are familiar with very foot of ground in the county. Maintaining an office in the county court house, this important concern is in daily contact with all important docu- ments flled in the office of the register of deeds, and they are consequently in a position to examine titles and compile extracts in not only the shortest possible time, but with unfailing accuracy. Hav- ing a knowledge of the county records possessed. by no one outside their offices, and being daily called upon :to wade -~ i i S e BEMIDJI, BELTRAMI COUNTY AND NORTHERN MINNESOTA. C. A. HUFFMAN through deed entries and the like, the Beltrami County Abstract company can in- deed claim precedence for expedition and authenticity over all others engaged in a similar business. Their history as an abstract and title company is untarnished, their long years of conscientious service, and satisfying and reliable results have invoked the supreme confidence of every citizen in this section, and the fact that they perform the bulk of business con- nected with real estate transactions is bona fide evidence of not only their un- questioned integrity, but of the confidence reposed in them by the public as a whole. C. A. Huffman is the guiding mentor of the Beltrami County Abstract com- pany. Since his induction as manager he has simplified the general workings of the office, making it to secure access to and solution of technical or doubt- ful titles, while the compiling of abstracts has been systemized to the degree of per- fection and great saving of time, which v necessarily means a saving to those in- terested in the work desired. Mr. Huffman, before being selected as the chief executiv eof the Beltrami Coun- ty Abstract ccmpany, had been for ten years previous, 'occupied as an abstractor at Ladysmith, Wis. With his past ex- perience, and with alacrity and ability he has demonstrated since his connection with the firm he represents at present, he may be relied upon to dispose of all business entrusted to him in the most approved and unmistakable manner. Mr. Huffman is also to be appreciated from the fact that he has had sufficient confidence in Beltrami county lands to the extent of investing his money among us, another fact which evinces his fore- sight as well as his knowledge of pro- lific lands. ’ As a citizen Mr. Huffman is classed among the most eminent and industrious, and The Pioneer, without quibble or re- servation, can freely laud both Mr. Huff man and the company he manages. e T AT AT OTRE BT TR AL
