MCMILLAN FUR AND WOOL CO..
Successor to James Mcmillan & Co.,
IncOrDOratell1

F'urs, Hides, Pelts, Wool and Talloyy,
The business of the Mcmillan Fur
and Wool company was established in
1877, tWenty-six years ago. From a
small beginning it has expanded until
now it is by far the largest business
OF its kind in the northwest. They
probably receive more furs directly
from shippers than any other concern
in North America, and their cellars,
which are built specially for the pur-
pose, are recognized depots for hides
and calfskins. A branch Of their bust
ness in which they take special pride
is the sheepskin tannery, which has
a. capacity of 5000 pelts per day. Here
they pull the wool from the sheep
pelts which they buy, and scour the
wool and pickle the skins. This COM
pany believes fully in the policy of
having goods shipped to them instead
of going to the expense of sending
travelling buyers after them, and are
willing to give the shippers the bene-
fit Of the saving. The aggregate guam
,tity Of goods which are shipped to
them is enormous. Their price circu-
lar is mailed free upon application.

SECURITY WAREHOUSE COMPANY

This business was established by
John II. Scott in the year 1883. Mr..
Scott was the first man who ever
opened a public storage warehouse In
Minneapolis, and first began business
in what is now the Central ware
house, 700 First street N. A year later
Mr.. Scott took into partnership
1856. the business was sold by Scott
& Wilkinson to Fl. B. Wood and Will
lard w. Morse, who reorganized 1t as
the Security Warehouse company. In
1890 the Security warehouse A was
built by them, and in 1892 the Secur-
ity warehouse 3. In 1894 Mr.. Wood
removed to San Francisco, Cal, and in
1896 disposed of his interest to Mr..
Morse, who has since conducted the
business.
From the beginning a very large
proportion of the facilities of the
company have been employed in the
handling of agricultural implements,
and few factors have been more i'm
portant in establishing Minneapolis as
the pre-eminent implement center Of
the northwest. In the year 1883 1t
was still an open question whether
Minneapolis or st. Paul would be the
implement headquarters of the north
west. AT that time as many imple-
ment houses were located in st. Paul
as in Minneapolis, If not more. Many
of the houses which are now leaders
in the implement trade in Minneapo-
lis originally located in st. Paul, and
were induced to come to Minneapolis
thru the efforts and superior advan-
tages offered by the Security Ware
house company. Nearly so per cent
of the implement manufacturers now
represented in Minneapolis first came
to the city as tenants of the Security
Warehouse company, afterWard estao-
fishing houses for themselves, as their
business grew and developed.
In the development Of Minneapolis
as a distributing center for the north
west, in all lines Of merchandise, no
small part has been borne by this
company, as is shown by it's develop
ment from a small concern, doing
business in one building, to it's pres
ent position as much the largest dis
tributor of general merchandise in the
northwest, seven large buildings now
being occupied in the receiving, stor-
ing and reshipping of merchandise
which is shipped to Minneapolis IN car
lots and distributed thru this and ad-
Joining states in less quantities than
car lots.
The household goods department. OF
the company is also one Of its lead
ing features, and has proved itself
most valuable convenience to thou
sands, of people coming to Minneapo-
lis as also to those leaving the city.
who need safe and convenient place
where their household goods may be
kept, until such time as they are ready
to use them. The great development
of summer residences at Lake Minnie
tonka has had a marked effect in de-
Veloping this part OF the business OF
the Security Warehouse company, as
hundreds of families store their goods
in the warehouse while they are living
at the lake, and take them out of the
warehouse again in the iall when they
return for their winter sojourn IN the
| city.

ANTHONY KELLY s. CO.,
Wholesale Grocers.

: The late Anthony Kelly established
the above indicated firm in 1858, at
Second street and Washington avenue
N, but removed soon to Bridge square
and First avenue. Owing to the rapid
increase in business it became neces-
sary to secure more room, and the
building at 110-112 Hennepin avenue
was erected and occupied. Here the
volume Of business became SO great
that Mr.. Kelly was. obliged again to
seek larger quarters, and in 1877 he
removed to the present location, cor
ner of Second avenue N and Washing
ton. Mr.. Kelly died May 81, 1899;
since which time the business has been
conducted by his estate. The firm
name has never been changed, and it
is the oldest business house in the
twin cities that can make the same
claim to this distin elton. The firm en-
.ploys sixteen commercial travellers.

THE GLENWOOD-INGLE CO.,
Pure Spring Water.

This enterprising company Is To-
Gated at 313 Hennepin avenue and
first introduced the Twin Springs
(Glenwood and IngleWood) to the
Minneapolis public in 1883. The bust i.
ness met with no encouragement at
first, and the idea Of selling water
was greatly derided. Finally the peo-
pie began to realize that the city wa
ter was responsible for a large per-
centage Of preventable sickness, and
then they began to experiment with
and at last depend upon a pure water
from these springs for their daily
drink. At the present time upwards
Of fifty men and as many horses are
engaged in supplying the ever-increas-
ing demand for this pure water. It
is distributed daily to all parts Of the
city, and during the warm season 1900
tons of pure ice are delivered with
the water to keep it COOL The water
is also distilled and sold in bottles.
The company's business is now .recog-
nized as one Of the solid industries OF
the city.
