The Swed back mill was built
in 1898 by E. J. Swedback and
his brother Andrew, and since
the death of the latter, in 1900,
E. J. Swedback has conducted
the business alone.
In addition to manufacturing
lumber, Mr.. Swedback has
handled a complete line of all
kinds of building material, and it
can be safely said that he has
furnished the material for three
fourths of all the buildings in the
city.
In the upbuilding of Bemidji
he has played an important part,
and many business man in the
city today owes his start in the
world to help extended by Mr..
SWed back at a time when lum-
Der and building material could
not be obtained from anyone else.
When payments became overdue
he carried all who showed dis
position to treat him with fair
ness and honesty, often to his
own en- barrassment.
In political way he has also
served the comm unity we'll. Dur
ing the early days he served as
trustee for two terms under the
village organization, and largely
through his efforts some of the
lasting and su bstantial improve
ments of the city today were
made.
In 1902 he was elected senator
from the 61st district, EN- bracing
Beltrami, Clearwater, Red Lake
and Norman counties, serving
four years. He took an active
part in all measures before that
body, and did good service for
his district.
The trip Of himself and Mrs.
Swed back to their native land at
this time is rounding out a busy
and useful life, and the best
wishes of the citizens of Bemidji
and vicinity go with them.
