Bank Affected. |

With the dissolution of the pio-
neer firm of O'Leary & Bowser,
which was succeeded by the O'Leary-
Bowser Company, and the removal
of that company's business from the
north to the south side of Third
street, several important business
changes have followed on that
street, which is the most central, and
probably the busiest section in Busy
Bemidji."
The store building occupied by
O'Leary & Bowser. and known as
the Markham block, has been re-
modelled entirely and partitioned
into two stores, the east half being
occupied by Schneider Bros.' big
clothing stock and the west half
of the block is to be occupied by
t: J. Crane & Company, with their
ladies'ready-to-wear garments.
These removals have caused two
other changes, Edwin Gearlds NOV
ing his saloon fixtures and stock of
goods into the building formerly
occupied by Schneider Bros, where
he has fixed up" in splendid style
and has a place second to none in
the city.
The Lumbermens National Bank
of this city will occupy the corner
vacated by Edwin Gearlds, where
they will install splendid fixtures
and have one of the most complete
banking institutions in the state.
By moving into their new head
quarters, Schneider Bros. have one
of tina the very best clothing stores
in this section. There are 5000
square feet of floor space, giving
them ample room to exhibit the
largest stock of goods which they
have ever shown in this city.
The interior of the new Schneider
store is very attractive. The ceiling
is covered with steel, painted in a
light color, and the walls are
covered with oatmeal ingram paper,
painted green. The fixtures of the
store are in keeping with the general
scheme of up-to-da tness.
The store is supplied with ward
robe clothes cabinets which are of
the very latest style, with plate
glass fronts and two tiers, having
slides on which clothing may be
hanged. There are also ward1obes
for the hats, and these are supplied
with slides.
The counters are of plate glass
and very elaborate.
In the rear of the store is a
private Office whice is used by the
bookkeeper and Mr.. Schneider.
The show windows in front are
large and commodions and give
ample room for showing the latest
styles of clothing, etc.
In the store there is shown large
line of clothing for gentlemen from
to 80 years old, and older if required.
There is large stock of hats of
every description and of the best
makes, and a beautiful batch of
furnishings and ties that are really
dreams"
