RARE BARGAINS BEING OFFERED ON DOLLAR DAY (Continruea From Page 1) pers and much of the success of these Dollar Days . is due to . local buyers who realize that their own merchants have the best goods at The objective of the merchants is to draw mote trade to their stores and to Bemidji, and the losses which are frequently suffered on Dollar Day they feel are made up through the additional business secured. This system has so far been proving very successful and at the same time buy- ers are offered opportunities to pro- ‘cure articles, which they need, at specially reduced prices. Local shoppers espedially have be- ¢ gun to look forward to-ithese, special % sales days and it is expected, that this # coming Dollar Day will, prove, very { successful. r i S A e COUNTESS PRUE 43785 | This type of Guernsey cattle is fast Eeing introduced into Beltrami county and, through. the efforts of the Bel- strami-County; Guernsey: Cattle Club, much intetest has already been shown in “the battle with the scrub,” ET Potato Ma’xl;et'h Chicago, March 30-—Potato ' mar- ket dull.

A FeW 'Facts ' Had the Bemidji Civic and Commerce Association been asked-to furnish a site for a new industry wishing to locate in this city a few vears ago, considerable effort and much money would have been ex- pended for thg purpose. The Bemidji Gas Company, originated at that time, did not ask or receive any consideration.of that kind. 'And since that time it has ex- pended over $80,000 in, plant, mains, service, motors, etc.; and a great part of it in bonuses to those using gas for the first four years by giving them a rate at less than the cost of gas.; Of course, this was business—and done for the purpose and with . the expectation of inducing a sufficient number of consumers and a com- mensurate output of gas to warrant the low rate. But the world was against us! War was declared.” Up went prices’ of material, freight rates, labor, etc.—and the Gas Rate. But not soon enough to prevent a heavy loss, or to make any dividends on the money invested. An_d the higher rate-was no inducement for new business. : But “what goes up must come down,” is an .old saying, and twice in the past year the gas rate has been lowered, also another reduction will be made next month. Not only that, but Gas ‘Appliances have been reduced to such an-: extent that tha amount saved on a gas range will pay for the gas used * If these inducements will secure us a suffi- by it for several months. cient additional output of gas, other reductions will follow as rapidly as possible._ i ) The -Bemidji Gas Company is-a local concern, and should be an& . has been supported by those who can use gas as a fuel, ' g Gas is a necessity for many and a luxury. within the limits of all' i pocketbooks. ‘Additional main extensions are contemplated and will be made as fast as the demand warrants. . ‘And those deéifing gas, and who are located off of present mains, should file their applications at once and select their appliances. Easy terms can be arranged at our office: Gas, even at present rates, is the most economical convenience and cleanest fuel to be used in Bemidji, taking everything into congideration.
