fig tree,' and then have to spare-fruits
of their insistent and well applied eff
forts, and a reward for their frugality
and bravery in facing the frontier.
Messrs. Kleven and Nelson, comprising
the Farmers Land Company, are among
the most prominent real estate dealers in
this section, as we'll as being the longest
established. They own and control some
thing like 10000 acres of land in Bel
trami, Itasca and Koochiching counties,
the which include timber land, farm and
meadow and wild lands. They have also
a choice lot of city and town property,
and their record as men of extreme
creditability is known far and near.
AS may be inferred, these two gentle
men are among the most pushing of
Beltrami county's residents. They have
been well repaid for the trust they i'm
posed in the possibilities of this vicinity
as have all others who have invested
here, and The Pioneer is gratified to allot
to them this brief space in commemora-
ton of their resolution and unfagging
labor in developing this portion of the
state.

FARMERS LAND COMPANY.

This firm is among the oldest estab-
lished realty concerns in this portion of
Minnesota, while the members thereof,
Messrs A. H. Kleven and Erick Nelson,
with few exceptions, the oldest settlers
in Beltrami county. Mr.. Kleven took up
homestead on Blackjack River seven
teen years ago, while Mr.. Nelson settled
on similar claim, located three miles
southwest of Bemidji fifteen years ago.
At the time these gentlemen become
homesteaders this territory was but
wilderness. At the time of their arrival
in this section of Minnesota they could
hear the howl of the wolf and the crash
ing noise made by moose horns; could
see the deer in scores, and bands of caribou,
an animal now scarce owing to its merciless
slaughter, were daily scene.
But from a bowling and wild wilder
ness, these two sturdy pioneers have lived
to see the land cleared, and where there
was aught but timber and underbrush
beautiful and productive farms now ap-
pear to the vision. These gentlemen as
a result have no complaint to make:
Each of them own .their own vine and

work standing as impressive evidence of
their skill and taste.

possess every modern equipment for the
prosecution of their work, they are ar
fists outside the pale of general work,

e. H. WINTER G. co.

Among the representative concerns of
Bemidji-the business houses that count as
substantial bulwarks of our prosperity-is
the firm of E. H. Winter & Co., leaders in
general merchandise. Throughout this pro-
ductive country, there is no business house
that overshadows this emporium of general
trade
The ability of E. H. Winter Co. to fur
nish nearly every want of the public, and
the stock which the concern carries is so
varied that the wants of all can be easily
supplied.
This is general merchandise store,
stocked from cellar to garnet with every
known need, and besides a general line OF
staples they handle beef in quantities and
flour and feed.
In the dry goods line this store carries
the highest grades. Anything in the line OF
muslins, silks, satins, cambrics, lawn and
wooden goods for all purposes, dress goods,
ETC., are carried by E. H. Winter & Co.
The line of groceries carried by b. H.
Winter & Co. represents the finest and
most popular brands of all kinds of canned
goods, vegetables, butter and eggs, being
the freshest and best that the market al
fords And the produce of farmers is pur-
chased by this firm, the very highest mar
ket price being paid for the things which
the farmers bring to Bemidji, the firm doing
everything possible to encourage the devel-
opment of this part of the state and pro-
viding markets for the fruits of the soil.
The firm of E. H. Winter & Co. are
among Bemidji's most influential and potent
business factors. They are willing to affix
their seal and lend their material aid to any
reasonable proposition which will tend to
advance the prosperity and general welfare
of this community
This general merchandise house is also
one which is deserving of an Industrial pat
ronage They have invested their money

here; they maintain one of the leading
stores in the community; they propagate
the question of home patronage of home in
dustries; the house itself stands as mon
ument of business sagacity and integrity,
and the especial attention of our readers is
called to it's high qualifications as business
house.
The well-established solidity of E. H.
Winter & Co. is along the lines of perma-
nent progress of Bemidji and The Pioneer,
in rejecting the various interests which
Bemidii has to offer as financial agricul-
tural educational and industrial center,
knows of no firm or individual whom it
would more gladly bring to the public no.
tice than this firm.
