FOR ADVANCEMENT
And the East Minneapolis Bust
ness Mems Association En-
phasizes the Fact.
Good Business Enterprises and
Live Business Men Give an
Advantage.

One year ago the Minneapolis Jour
nal started an East Side page, with a
desire to promote the interests of East
Minneapolis by telling the residents OF
and otherwise, and giving the various
merchants on the East Side an opportun
ity to advertise their goods. H. L.
Patthey has been in charge of this de-
partment from it's inception and has sue
ceeded in calling the attention of the
leading business men and residents of
the city, to the fact that the East Side,
with it's large population, its enormous
manufacturing interests, steady increase
in business, fine schools and the best
university in the country, a desirable
locality for homes and residences, SPLEEN
did locations for manufacturing con-
Germs and the best trackage, promises to
become one of the most important parts
of the great city of Minneapolis. The
business men thought well Of having a
special page devoted to the interests Of
hearty support to it and its purposes
Many improvements during the last
year have marked the progress of the
East Side.
Pavement has been lain on several Of
ty avenue Sc, Fifth street, Seventh
street, Fourteenth avenue Sc, Central
avenue NE, Marshall street NE. The
completion of the Pillsbury library on
University avenue Sc and First avenue,
and the. new park which has been laid
out in front Of the International Stock
Food building, and will be, made
are additional valuable improvements
on the East Side. I~5sfr,
In order to make the promotion of diff
fered interests in East Minneapolis last
ing and to receive the cooperation Of
every public spirited citizen of the East
Side, there has been founded the East
Minneapolis Business Men s association
of which J. f. Ware is president, Frank
H; Lane, vice president, H L. L Pa att re-
burn and w. H. Lawrence, directors.
The object of this organization is
to promote the various interests of the
East Side, inviting outside manufac-
turers to locate here and pushing finan-
way. One of the latest purposes of the
Business Mems association is the plan
Of repaving Central avenue from Fourth
street to Bridge street, and Bridge
street to Hennepin avenue. In order
to show that the paving of Central
ment and one indorsed pG by the residents
of East Minneapolis, this association
has prepared large petition asking
all the residents of East Minneapolis
to sign it, after which it will be pre-
sented to the mayor and to the city

note that business in the past year has
increased considerably and that the
merchants have added largely to their
respective stocks, and the purchaser, no
matter what article he may desire to
buy, can find on the East Side a suff-
Gent variety to choose from. The COM
paratively small expense Of carrying on
a business in this part Of the city places
the goods at the disposal Of the buyer
at low prices; the constant demand for
everything and the large assortments
which are handled in keeping with the
steady sales, make shopping on the
East Side pleasant task.

Business Mems association are fur
thered by it's officers with conserva-
tism and energy. Mr.. Ware, the pres
ident, is cashier of the st. Anthony
Falls bank and one of the progressive
business men of the East Side. Mr..
