s s e | BEMIDJI, BELTRAMI COUNTY g e fi___‘“J*—_J‘J—L“\ AND NORTHERN MINNESOTA. CHARLES D. FISK. THE BEMIDJI COLLECTION AGENCY. Chas. D. Fisk, Mgr. This is the only exclusive collection agency in Bemidji. Chas. D. Fisk, the man- ager thereof, has made a thorough study of this profession, and his experience in this field can readily be appreciated. The Bemidji Collection Agency makes a spe- cialty of collecting bills which are difficult to secure, they bring suits to collect delin- quent accounts, and they conserve the in- terests of their patrons in the most faithful and conscientious manner. Mr. Fisk is also clerk of the municipal court, and his position in a public capacity is self-assertive of his integrity as one to be entrusted with other business affairs. In addition to the public office he holds, to which he was appointed by the Hon. Judge H. W. Bailey, now municipal judge of Be- midji, Mr. Fisk has been head clerk in the camps of the Walker & Akeley Lumber Company of Minneapolis; he held the same responsible desk with the Red River Lum- ber Company of Akeley, and was head book- keeper for the S. A. Gray Logging Company until that concern quit business. With his father, Attorney D. H. Fisk, this young gentleman came to this city from Cheney, Washington, where he attended the Cheney State Normal School and after- wards the State Agricultural College at Puttman, Wash. Mr. Fisk is a young man of exemplary habits, intellectual attalnment, he isg a “booster’ 'who does much good for the city, and The Pioneer is pleased to note his name and occupation in its Souvenir Edi- tion. GRAHAM & DORAN. These gentlemen represent the proprie- tors of the popularly known ‘“Palace Meat Market,” a mart of trade noted for the juiciness and freshness of the goods they hand out. This meat market handles every known want in the way of fresh, salt and smoked meats, fish and oysters in season, not forgetting their penchant of supplying poultry, game and vegetables when they are obtainable. Mr. Graham was one of the first men to enter business in this city, and ever since his advent he has made his presence known both by the quality of meats he offered and by the manner in which he delievered or- ders. Mr. Graham also has a gilt-edged reputation. He has served as councilman for three years; he has been a member of the school board for two years, and he re- flects the true citizenship of Bemidji in every way that the term implies. Mr. Doran has been a partner in business with Mr. Graham for something over a year’s time, but since his connection with Mr. Graham he has demonstrated that his attributes as a business man are worthy of extolling. He is an expert in his chosen line. A gentleman throughout, and one who makes up a firm who is not only entitled to home patronage, but such a one who wins public approbation all along the line. M. E. IBERTSON, FURNITURE HOUSE. This is the pioneer furniture and under- taking establishment of Bemidji, and their stock consists of everything in this line, irom a baby carriage to leather upholstered lounges, all the new designs in furniture, of latest woods and finishes, ranging from the cheapest to the best. Their line of oriental and domestic rugs, draperies and curtains is up-to-date and more complete than can be found in towns of much larger size, and they have as a re- sult, the niftiest lot of goods to select from that can be found in this portion ot the Northwest. : Mr. Ibertson is a licensed embalmer and undertaker, and his stock of funeral fur- nishings and funeral clothes will always be found complete. The Pioneer recommends Mr. Ibertson as being capable of taking charge of any funeral and furnishing the equipment therefor, while the manner in which he conducts obsequies is a matter of general comment. Mr, Ibertson is another of Bemidji’s citi- zens who is hustling for the best interests of the city and interests of north-central Minnesota, and is doing so with an energy born of true enthusiasm. Mr. Ibertson also propogates the question of home patronage, he is one of that number who ‘boost” and keeps on doing so, and he justly deserves any favors which may be conferred upon him, whether in a business or personal sense. He owns one of the ranking busi- ness houses of Bemidji, is capable and straight as a string, and does things in a way which impels friendship and patronage. Little else need be said. Mr. Ibertson may well depend upon his record, his per- sonality and his prowess both as a business M. E. IBERTSON. and professional man. In the last election he was elected coroner, on the Republican ticket, another ground upon which to judge his popularity as a citizen and hustling business man. That he will fulfill the most ardent expectations of the voters of the county is a matter of general concession, as he has always been regarded for his faithful attendance to every duty imposed upon him. Bemidji as a health resort is becoming noted by reason of its beautiful scenery, its even climate, its richness in Indian lore and romance, its historical surroundings, and the opportunities for sport which abound in this vicinity. | o G
