This evening’s edition of the Be- midji Daily Pioneer consists of! - twenty pages; a large portion of these pages are covered by good live advertisements in which the mer- chants of Bemidji are exploiting the splendid stocks of goods with which their places of business are filled during this holiday season. This paper is gotten out more as a business edition than to “‘boost- ing” Bemidji, as was the big ‘*boom” magazine which the Pioneer issued last winter, and on the getting out of which we sunk a considerable sum. We are presenting herewith talks by the business men of Bemidji who are offering splendid articles, of nearly every description, to the thousands of buyers who will read the paper. There are talks on many kinds of useful articles for Christmas presents, from toys for the little folks to expensive automobiles, furs or diamonds for their elders. All of the advertisements are well-written and full of “‘meat,” and readers of the Pioneer should go over the “ads” very carefully, as you will undoubtedly find just what you are looking for, but have not known that you could secure it. While these advertisements may not be classed strictly as “news” matter, yet they contain the real news that touches the pocketbook, and that is the most vital consideration at this season of good cheer. Don’t send away from Bemidji for your holiday presents. Certainly, with the varied and select assort- ment of articles which are advertised in the pages of this paper, the wants of the most fastidious can be supplied in this city. Another object for the publishing of this extra-page edition is to bring the hundreds of readers of the Pio- neer in closer touch with the busi- ness men of the city who believe in a judicious and liberal use of print- *ads” asking for your patronage, Read every advertisement in this issue of the Pioneer. It will give you a correct line on the splendid merchandise which is handled by Bemidji merchants ‘and will be of great material aid to you during the holiday season. - . " Preserve this paper, as - you will undoubtedly desire to again refer to some advertisement printed therein. Loss Is Nearly $200,000. 8t.
