A SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF THIRTY YEARS.
Ben Bear Will Celebrate Close of Thirty Years in
Business in DEBORAH. Sketch of His Career.

has been closely identified and con-
nected. 1t is but simple justice to
concede that every project for the bet
terment of the city in these thirty years
has had, not only Mr.. Bears approval,
but his labor, his unfiagging zeal, his
tireless, resistless energy. 1t is the
nature of the man TO so mould his
that even though every
day does not manifest its distinct i'm
provement, nevertheless strength has
been accumulated which permits i'm
provement throughout future days.
But it has been action rather than ac-
emulation of power which has char
acterized the life of Decorah's square
dealer. He is an optimist with vim,
faith and hope. Be the enterprise but
ever so remotely possible. the energy
and the labor required matter not at
all.
Ben Bear has been a good thing
for DEBORAH, and on the other hand
DEBORAH has been kind to Ben Bear.
He came here with practically but
three assets: unbounded energy, a clear

Got Some Wolves.

Martin Fel's boy was twelve years
old few days ago, and in honor of
this event his father presented him a
20 rifle. A rife is no good unless you
can shoot it, so Ray took the first
pleasant day to invite his chum Martin
Chapman to go with him in search of
big game. They struck for the woods
and soon came to big hollow log.
Peeking in they discovered the fiery
eyes of monster they thought must
be ferocious lion, and at once blazed
away. In response to the scrambllng
that followed they fired again, and
then there was great squealing. AS
nothing came out they hurried to the
house for an AK, and in less time than
it takes to tell the story they had
drawn out of their nest dead mother
wolf and eight cubs. The first shot
had struck between the eyes of the big
one and killed it instantly. Mr.. Fels
brought the entire outfit up to the
Auditor and secured bounty of So
on the old wolf and 50 each on the
pups, making a total of S2l 90. West

In modest effort to recognize the
completion of thirty years in business
of our foremost citizen and business
man, Mr.. Ben Bear, it may be truth.
fully said that the above has been his
experience. Thirty years ago next
Saturday, Mr.. Bear, young New
Yorker, in search of business loca-
ton, looking for the frontier and the
business advantages which come to
those who are willing to forego the con-
veniences incident to older commune
ties, first found himself surrounded by
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-04-25

Decorah's hills. 1t was a good day for
Mr.. Bear, and alike as good day for
DEBORAH. DEBORAH, even thirty years
ago. was not frontier town. but the
beauty of the place and the insistent
charm of it, appealed to this New
Yorker.
On the corner where his store now
is, stood the old Adams block, and
this Mr.. Bear rented; soon it became
known as the Centennial Clothing
Store and from that day to this the
store has been center of business
activity for northeastern Iowa. For "a
time it was Bear q Rose, clothiers,
but it was not long until Mr. Bear had
saved enough by frugality and careful
business methods to buy out his part
ner, and since he has had entire
charge and control of the business.
Fire destroyed the old building and
stock, and it was replaced with the
present capacious structure, which
from time TO time has been improved
and modernized until today it is a
handsome double store, complete in
all its appointments. BY this time
Mr. Bear had purchased the store and
owned it. He was then regarded as
a permanent factor in DEBORAH, and
had established the reputation
fhroa1pbout XV;ppacI,;oI- oo,,,&, fo,.
honesty, uprightness and everlasting
hustling. People began to realize
that his coming here meant something
for DEBORAH and vicinity, for every
enterprise Of public nature easily
elicitoi his interest and cooperation.
He began to use printers ink extern
sively, and Inc had not been here loI g
until the name of Ben Bear was
known for fifty miles around in nearly
every home.
A few years passed by, his success in
business became an established fact,
and he entered upon another epoch in
his career. the taking unto himself a
wife and helpmate. From her far
eastern New York home he brought
Miss Antonio Homberger, who was
given most cordial welcome by the
citizens of DEBORAH, and they soon
learned to esteem her highly for her
admirable qualities and pleasing
disposition. They have made home
in DEBORAH which has been a synonym
of hospitality and geniality. Two
accomplished daughters and a promis-
ing son have frightened their Preside
with joy and love and happiness, and
it can be truthfully said that theirs
has been an ideal home.
Aside from his beautiful home and
estimable family, and from his
notable success in business life, it may
also be said that with every
growth, with every advancement, with
every public improvement, Mr.. Bear

| head and clean heart. His methods
have been those of scrupulous honesty.
His policy has been that of extreme
courtesy to all and under every cir
cumstance. Any child can buy in his
establishment with entire safety, be-
cause, if the purchase proved in any
way unsatisfactory, the trade would
be cheerfully, unquestioningly re-
scinded, the goods taken back and the
money returned.
The Centennial Clothing Store which
was established in 1876 has grown from
little things into the magnificent bust
ness which constitutes Ben Bears
square dealing enterprise of today.
Mr.. Bears life in DEBORAH has been
a success and it can be truthfully be
said that it has been success which
has been highly deserved. He has
worked hard, and yet not too hard.
His eye is as bright, his step as firm,
his voice as clear as it was thirty years
ago.
This is retrospect, not prophecy.
The backward view is fair to look
upon. AS the past is permitted to
speak for itself, so will we give to the
future the same privilege, but with
the difference that our esteem and our
appreciation are thrown into the
balance to the end that the future NAV
be even more generous of gracious
gifts than the past has been.
In grateful appreciation for the
many kindnesses and liberal patronage
of the people of northeastern Iowa
during his business career, Mr.. Bear
has made special preparations for the
celebration of the event. He will
inaugurate a great anniversary sale,
beginning next Saturday, April 2Sth,
and lasting one week. On Saturday
afternoon and evening an orchestra
will furnish music at the store. and
beautiful imported souvenirs will be
given as mementos of the occasion to
all making purchases of 81 and up
wards.

According to the Anamosa papers the
Chicago, Anamosa & Northern railway
will be built to Austin, Minnesota,
this summer, and will miss both
Waterloo and Independence, probably
passing through Fairbank and crossing
the Illinois Central at some point east
of Independence and between that city
and Manchester. Mr.. Howard stated
that his road would cross the northern
line of the Milwaukee at Ionia. From
Coggon to Ionia would carry the road
east of Independence, probably
through Fairbank, Tripoli. Wapsie,
