! The foundation of, the present extern.
sive; "Gately Firms business through
| out the country was laid in New Eng
land a third Of a century ago. It was
begun in a small way, and has develop
ed to proportions far beyond the high
est hopes Of it's originators. The CO.
operative idea of conducting business
is noticed throughout the entire sys-
| tenn. In the place Of one vast cOrpor-
alton, monopolizing prices of merchan-
disc to the consumer and of wages to
large army of employees, the Gately
Houses consist of numerous indepen-
Gent and separate concerns, established
at the principal business centers OF the
country, some of them INCORPORATED
and others organized as ordinary part
| nership firms, but all of them includ-
ing in. their ownership the principal
local employees. who naturally take an
especial interest and pride in the
growth and prosperity of the estab-
lishment with which they may be con-
nected.
The Gately Supply Co. was incorpo-
! rated in Duluth, under the general
laws of Minnesota, in 1897, and is the
representative Gately establishment
for this section of the country. Prior
to it's incorporation. it was for ten
years branch of John Gately & Co.
Iof Chicago; under the able and popular
management OF Mr.. Fred w. Edwards.
Mr.. Edwards, who is the treasurer
and general manager. is a permanent
resident Of Duluth, and an active men,
Der of social and secret society Organi-
cations of the city. The other officers
of the company are John Gately, presi-
dent: r. Il. Edwards, vice president
and Jas. p. Harris, secretary. 1t is
| truly Il Duluth concern, and deserves
the good will and patronage Of all who
are disposed to help and encourage
home enterprises.
The growth of the Duluth establish.
men4 has been exceDtionallv nrosner-
Gus. Conducted on a safe and conser-
vative basis, each year has seen a
gradual but substantial progress. From
