10. Refreshments.
A Prosperous Career.

In 1873 there lived in the town of Glenwood,
Pope county, gentleman of capital and shrewd
financial ability He established there the Pope
County Bank, an institution which has been and
is now on a firm basis with capital of 500, 600
Sagaciously foreseeing the approaching greatness
of the capital Of the state, st. Paul, this gentle
man removed to this ctyin 1874 and entered into
business on Jackson street. loaning money on all
collaterals of va lue and supplying the public
with line of valuable and useful goods at prices
such no other establishments dealing in the
same line could afford. ''NO. II, jackson street.
opposite the Merchants hotel,' became famous
throughout the great northwest, and the name
of ''E. Lyle became the synonym for bargains
from the center of Missouri and Iowa, north
through Manitoba, and from the great lakes to
the Pacific cost. Square dealing and liberaty
have made for Mr.. Lyle a most enviable repu-
tation, and increased his fortune materially
He had come here to remain, and he adopted a
policy such as must in all cases win. He has dis
played his faith in st. Paul by investing his
earnings in property here and improving it by the
erection of ornamental and desirable residences
lie has been the friend of the poor. and without
ostentation, has literally bestowed his bounty
Endorsed and recommended by the best banks
and citizens, his financial reputation has, in the
years of his residence here, grown to be second
to that of few business men in st. Paul. He has
annually given away thousands of dollars in
gifts to his customers, and has been satisfied
with a margin of profit which would have
been absurdly small if his business had not been
so vast and extensive.
These "reminiscences of Mr. Lyle are suggest
ed by the fact that the old land mark where he
has so long been located is about to be demolish-
ed and that the popular establishment is TO be re-
moved from mo. A. to No. As. s'opposite the
the Merchants hotel.'' The new store will be
the most elegant and attractive of any in the
northwest. The finishing VIII be exceedingly
rich and ornate, and at the same time bright and
restful to the eye. Mr.. Lyle
possesses exquisite taste, and judging from
from the designs and ideas he unfolded to a
GLOBE representative he has quite outdone him
self The establishment, when completed will
be run an entirely different system from. any
other of the kind. The departments will be sep
arate; diamonds, jewelry and other lines being
assigned distinctive positions. 1t will be a pleas
ant plan for those VINO love to inspect articles of
elegance, as well as those who desire genuine
bargains, to visit. Besides the main entrance on
jackson street, there will be an entrance through
the alley from Fourth street 1t is understood
that Mr.. Lytle is offering some special bargains
in jewelry, and unredeemed pledges prior to his
removal, which must be completed by May /.
