PALACE CLOTHING HOUSE.

Nearly every resident in Beltrami county
is acquainted with Mr.. G. Cominsky, pro-
prietor of the above-named store, both for
the fair business policy he has always OBJ
served, and for the intrinsic values he has
always given to the consumer. Mr..
Cominsky, while he handles high-grade
clothing, underwear, haberdashery, hats,
caps and gloves, makes speciality of lum-
bermen's clothing, and in that one line he
has made a colse study of the needs of
these who are employed in the woods. This
fact does not appear strange when we con-
template the fact that Mr.. Cominsky has
been clothing salesman for years. Com
ing from ST. Paul, he is naturally metropol-
itan in his conduction Of the Palace Cloth
ing House, and he is thus enabled to select
and decide upon the very best grade of
goods for the varied requisites of this ter
ritory. He is ION the leveP in business, he
retains customers the year around, he tells
you what is what, and sells accordingly,
and he is one of the most trustworthy
young business men that Bemidji can own.
He is popular with the trade, dependable in
all his transactions, and The Pioneer has
no scruples in commencing him to it's thous-
ands of readers.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-03-27

oughly typit1es the class of business men
who are so rapidly building up Bemidji.
The clothing house of Schneider Bros. is
known throughout this section and it is con-
coded that it constitutes one of the central
figures upon which the clothing business of
this territory revolves. Schneider Bros.
personally oversee the business and their
recognized ability as both statesmen and
buyers go far to stamp them as experts in
their line.
AS one of Bemidjis influential business
houses the clothing emporium of Schneider
Bros. ranks pre-eminent. They are boosters
and hustlers from the word "go' and have,
all the time, been reckoned among the
citys boomers for a greater Bemidji In
financial circles, and social and lodge cir
cles, they are prominent, and as citizens
who do things they are among the first.
The attention of our thousands of readers
is called to Schneider Bros clothing house
and the congenial proprietors, and The Pho
neer takes keen delight in bringing the
name of Schneider Bros. pre-eminently to
the front. They propagate to the idea of
home patronage. Hence they would have

extends, on behalf of Mr.. LudingtOn, cor
dial invitation to the thousands of readers
of this Souvenir number to visit his store
at any time and inspect the new articles
which are always arriving and which they
are quite sure to need. The boy who comes
to the city with his escort should end his
happy visit by purchasing Hamilton
Model Rifle, Model No. 81, which he can
now secure for the small sum of $1.25. The
present season is destined to be cheerful
one for both the merchants and the city's
guests, but it is problematical if any firm
will be the recipient of more hearty hand
shakes or callers than Mr.. Ludington.
Noted for fair and impartial treatment, he
is a recognized factor in both business and
financial circles. Like The Pioneer he is
in for home patronage, and the readers of
this Souvenir issue should confer upon him
their unstinted patronage.

J. A. LuDlNGToN.

Perhaps there is no better known hard
ware store in this portion of the state than
the above. Having supplied the wants of
our people in this vicinity for a number of
years, and having in all cases given value
received, Mr.. Ludington has, from nom
inal commencement, built up a remunera-
tive business, and now conducts one of the
largest and most valuable htrdware stores.
AS implied by the above caption, it en-
braces shelf and heavy hardware, stoves
and ranges, light and heavy iron, wagon
stock, wire fencing, rubber goods, ammuni-
ton, guns and other sportsmen's neces-
saries.
Mr.. Ludington makes speciality of the
following makes: 'Iron Age garden tools,
Zenith" and Gilt Edge mechanics tools,
Horace Jones furnaces, Monarch and
Empire State ranges, and Empire" base
burners. This hardware house also has a
modern repair shop, it does corrugated iron
and tin work of every description, and is
so equipped and stocked to meet all ext
gencies connected with this line of bust
ness.

L. e. LLOYD.

Mr. Lloyd is Bemidji's acknowledged
premier horseshoer. Though he has been
in the city but two and half years, he has
given ample evidence of his prowess as
scientific horseshoer and of one who thor
oughly understands his profession. Mr.
Lloyd who previously was resident of Chi
cago, where he was employed as private
horseshoesr for Charles Dean, of the Graf
ton stock farm, where he shod the fastest
harness horses in the world, including
"Broncho,' which paced the three fastest
heats ever paced in a race; Scion Grafton,
the worlds champion trotter over half
mile track; Flora Directum, the champion
three-year-old in 1906, and many other

famous horses which have won worldwide
regulations.
Mr.. Lloyd is an adept in his chosen field
His work has attracted widespread atten-
ton, and he is in the position of the man
who can openly welcome all competition.
He is familiar with the defects which af-
flict the feet of horses he puts on shoes in
a manner which has won for him an ex-
tensive patronage, and his every day work
is marvel of skill and par excellent work
manship.
Mr.. Lloyd is to be congratulated upon the
reputation he has won as peer in his line
of business. He ranks foremost among our
coming and substantial business men, he
has wide acquaintance and one that is
worth something, and he is conceded to be
one of Bemidji's most enterprising and
useful citizens
