ROE & MARKUsEN.

These gentlemen conduct strictly first
class grocery. They have made a life study
of this one particular business and do not
go beyond their latitude as grocerymen.
The reader can imagine the rest. Their
experience in this one line qualities them
to buy with the keenest discernment, both
as to grade and price, as they are never
confused as to the details of other lines,
and the buyer is thus given the advantage
of superior articles at current prices.
This is the largest single-line grocery
house in Beltrami county and the most at
tractively appointed. The goods on the
shelves are so admirably arranged that they
create an appetite to view them; the array
of produce is such as to cause one to long
for an old-fashioned boiled dinner; the
show windows contain just the things which
impel one to wish that he was seated at
the table instead of being where he is, and
the arrangement of the entire establish
ment is conducive of admiration and COM
plimentary expression. In fact, the artistic
taste and knack of exhibiting the goods of
this store borders upon the fastidious.
And as to goods in the store, not to men

Messrs. Roe and Markusen are true ex-
amples of what one can accomplish when
he devotes his energies to self elevation
and success. From a modest beginning,
these gentlemen have gradually ascended
the ladder of thrift and possession, until
now they not only are recognized factors in
the world of business and commerce, but in
civic life as well.
The attention of the thousands of readers
of this Souvenir Edition of The Pioneer is
specifically directed to the firm of Roe &
Markusen, because of their public-spirited-
ness, generosity, their answering faith in
Bemidji and Beltrami county and the spon-
taneity which has characterized their every
move relative to the welfare of this vicin-
ity. From delivery boys and clerks these

walks alone, not to mention the foundation
work he did, and a branch in the cement
field of which he has made careful study.
It is safe to aver that Mr.. Crouch con-
structed nearly all the miles of cement
walks in Bemidji, not to mention the work
he has completed in surrounding towns. He
has secured all machinery necessary to the
rapid and thorough mixing of cement, the
corps Of wOrkmen in his employ are skilled
in their respective duties, and contracts
awarded to him are never permitted to lag
by reason of insufficiency of help or made
quacy of facilities.
And it should not be forgotten that while
numberless cement workers throughout the
country have been searching for the secret
of perfect cement mixing, Mr.. Crouch has
gone right along producing the real thing
to an extent that each sidewalk he laid
begot another. He has solved the intrica-
cies of proper admixture, and moisture,
and that his knowledge on these points has
met with commensurate appreciation is ap-
parent by the immense business which
comes to him.
AS a mechanic, citizen, hustler who
has the interests of his home city at heart,
Mr.. Crouch can be counted upon, and as
one deserving of cooperation and encour-
agement at the hands of our people, he
ranks pre-eminent.

is owing to the fact that Mr.. Falls has been
