clothing house in the northwest. and
every garment in the vast assortment
is marked in plain figures with it's price
and only goods of the highest chara-

It is this fair policy that has built this
enterprise, and which has reared the
fortune that is behind it 1T is a SIM
pie enough policy, but very rare. This
policy is expressed in the familiar
phrase: Honest goods" by honest
labor-and sold at what they are worth
"a great characteristic Of this house
is that it, caters to no particular class,
but welcome and provide for all. Mr..
Burrows has always been a strong
advocate of union label goods, and his
house has always carried the largest
line of union made goods to be found
at the head of the 1akes-including well
known makers as Sweet-Orr & Co; The
keystone Goods and the celebrated
Brotherhood Overall and workingmen's
clothing and the world renowned Knox
hats. Mr.. Burrows has recently
obtained exclusive control for Duluth
of the productions of one of the strong
est houses of union made clothing in
this country, representing the most per
feet tailored and fashionable suits,
overcoats and trousers ever produced
and bearing the union label.
The Great Eastern has ever been a
staunch friend of organized labor. Mr..
Burrows was the first in Duluth to
advocate and bring about Sunday
closing. ~
The Great Eastern was the first bust
ness in the city to bring about
the early evening closing, and again
during the months of July and August
of this year, was the only clothing
store in, Duluth to close up Monday
nights that the employees could enjoy
the pleasure of these evenings, and he
has notified the president Of the Trades
Assembly the The Great Eastern will
b closed all day Monday, Labor Day.
The new fall goods are now arriving
daily in every department and Mr..
Burrows looks forward Ito the coming
season as the most prosperous in the
history Of The Great Eastern.

The name M. S. Burrows ana The
Great Eastern are inseparably associ-
ated and both are leading representa-
tives Of Duluth, the one as business
man and the other as business in
stltution.
+ M. S. Burrows, proprietor of The
Great Eastern Clothing House, was
among the early business settlers of
Duluth. He is we'll known not only in
this city, but in the northwest as a
progressive and successful man. Du-
luth had population of perhaps 1000
when Mr.. Burrows opened small
store, small compared to The Great
Eastern of today, but quite adequate
for the time.
In 1882 he started in business in a
store Immediately east of the First
National Bank building.
During the most of the time for the
past II years Mr.. Burrows has been
in partnership with Adolph Nathan of
Chicago, one of the lagest clothing
manufacturers in the world: but he
has since bought out the interest of
his partner and now owns The Great
Eastern store Individually.
| Mr.. Burrows exercises constant and
vigilant supervision over the great
enterprise, his energy has created and
his keen judgment and good business
management is exemplified in this
modern metropolitan emporium which
he is the head. Mr.. Burrows has been
prominent in all that stands for Du-
| luth's best interests. He is in short a
type of the successful public spirited
business man now so valuable to a
community Of alert and progressive
| city builders.

WIN. &. SARGENT.
Republican Candidate for Sheriff
Of st. Louis County.

Republican Candidate for Sheriff
Of st. Louis County.
William C. Sargent, the candidate
for sheriff on the Republican ticket,
was nominated for the third time at
the Republican County Convention in
this city June 81. Mr.. Sargent was born
in Boston forty years ago, and came
to Duluth with his parents in 1869, and
has been identified with nearly every
enterprise connected with the growth
and welfare of the city since he left
school in 1876. Mr.. Sarsent's first
work was for the Northern Pacific r.
r. Company, when Mr.. A. S. Chase
was agent. He worked there for three
years. Was fuel superintendent for
the old Duluth Blast Furnace Company
for two years, anG then entered the
lumber, log and fuel business on his
own account, which business he kept
up directly and indirectly for sixteen
years. From 1886 to 1896 he was mana
ger Of the Lakeside Land Company,
and many beautiful homes, parks and
driveways in the eastern part of the
city attest his ability in that line. Mr..
Sargent is an active member OF the
Duluth Boat Club, and is a member of
several other clubs in the CITY, all Of
the Masonic orders, the Independent
Foresters, the United Foresters, and
other fraternal orders. Mr.. Sargent
has always been a liberal giver, and
when the panic came he lost, with
thousands Of others, practically all Of
his property and found himself heavily
in debt. =
It was then he turned to politics and
through the kindness Of bis many
friends secured what he wanted; the
office of sheriff. in 1896. He has filled
this office acceptably to the public
ever since, and as he has a large fol-
lowing outside his own party, especial
ly among the younger voters, his re-
election is assured. 49,
