Pioneer Storekeeper.

The oldest store in the copper
country, II not in the upper PENN
sula, is to be closed in the spring
when Graham Pope will sell out his
stock OF goods and retire from the
activities Of business life. The stock
OF goods is fast being disposed Of,
and it is more than probable that
the store will be closed early in
March or April. This general mer-
camille business was established
aboard ship in 1916. Around it
is welded the history Of the town.
The business was the first of the
kind established here, and was
started at time when there were
scarcely hundred people living on
the present site of the town.
IN the fall OF 1916 Ransom Shell
den, father Of Congressman G. d.
Sheldon, purchased small stock OF
provisions and clothing, and chart
ering schooner, set sail from
L'Ause for Copper Harbor. He sold
the goods:to the Indians and Others
and realized good profit. The bus
hess promised such a good profit
that the next year, 1s47, Mr.. Shell
den located a store at Portage
Entry. The stock was d small one,
I but sufficient TO meet the needs OF
his customers. He traded with the
Indians, who were in the majority
in this part of the country, taking
furs in exchange for groceries and
clothing. This business proved very
lucrative.
It was evident to these men that
Houghton was to be the commercial
center of the copper country and
their prophecies have been realized.
The old store was found to be too
small, and in 1864 the building, now
occupied by Graham Pope, was built.
At that time it was considered one
Of the finest store buildings in this
part of the state. The Indians and
white men came from hundreds OF
miles around to trade at this store.
The same year Sheldon & Co. sold
out to Smith & Harris, who con-
Quoted the business prcfitably until
1873, when Graham Pope purchased
the store, and has since conducted
the business. After nearly 30 years
