EARLE A. BARKER

whats the use of running his
mug" in the paper, everybody
knows him" was the comment made
by bystander when the advertis-
ing man was discussing the an
nouncement. Not because Mr.. Barker
is more brilliant than his salesforce,
but because he has shown judgement
in gathering about him such cap
able force of men, is why he is de-
serving of special mention
He came to Bemidji in August,
1900 as a jeweler, then doing only
repair work. In 1903 he bought out
F. A. Mayo's drug business and has
since that time increased his bust
ness more than 100 per cent. His
store was first conducted in the J.
Peterson Jr. stand and in 1908 built
the present building.
Although he occupies the digni-
fled position as proprietor he does
not insist on being called Mr.. Barker.
Earle sounds good to most of the
fellows and Mr.. Barker has heard
it SO much now that he likes it him

self. The only fussy thing about his
disposition is that he insists that
his name be spelled with an e
(Earle) and as soon as the public
learns this all will be easy sailing.
His eyes are gray, his hair is dark
and his smile is always the same
He is feet, nine inches in height
and weighs It's pounds. It is not
necessary to ask for the proprietor
when you enter the store. He is al
ways on the job. In addition to sup
cruising the policy of the store Earle
occupies one of the work benches in
the repair department. He makes a
hit with his force as we'll as the pub
lie by never asking others to do what
he would not do himself.
If you are patron Of the Barker
store you cannot help but being a
friend Of the men who are behind it.
QUALITY and SERVICE are two
strong features of the establishment
and these have been put there by Mr..
Barker.

the gentle sex and his ongenial ma

spot in the hearts of the men folk.
George has lived in Bemidji for
the past Is years coming here from
the city of Minneapolis. He was then
quite "city chap but fortunately
has out grown this with years of
Bemidji experience.
with eyes Of blue, light hair and
height Of feet Z inches when

an appearance that begets confidence

In order to get the best there is
in the drug business is by no means
an easy matter. Pointing to Mr..
Flatner, Mr.. Barker said, "there is
the best in the business That may
be one of the reasons why he's at
Barker's,
Mr.. Flatner, who is Of a very mod
est disposition blushed exceedingly
when confronted with this remark.
He denied the allegation, but could
not deny the fact that he headed a
class of graduates at the age of FL
at Minneapolis when taking the state
examination. There were 100 in
the class and 80 were given dip
Tomas, Mr.. Flatner receiving the
highest marks.
Too, familiar fellows call him
cart" and he comes, but the dignity
of his position best becomes the title
Of Mr.. Flatner. The women folk
never call him anything else.
What He Looks Like
He is not portly, but nearly so.
He has blue eyes, light hair (what
there is of it) is S feet 8 IL inches
high and weighs 1853 ponds. He talks
both English and Norwegian fluent
ly and can mix drugs the same way.
Mr.. Flatner came to Bemidji from
Morris, Mimi, in 1902 and with the
exception of a short period has been
the mainstay of the Barker Drug de-
partment for the past ten years. He
has been in the business for the past
Is years and now has absolute

Oscar is 33 years old. He came here
from Delano, Minnesota. AS an en-
ployee of the Barker Drug and Jewel
ry store he is the Oldest, having been
connected with this establishment
for the past eleven years.
A trait Mr.. Erwig has thoroughly
cultivated is that he always smiles
when he talks. Whether he has been
with Earle so much that he can't
help it is one of the things he pre-
fers to keep to himself.
No, Oscar is not the mouthpiece
of the institution, because Oscar
would rather work than talk. He Is,
however a salesman and knows the
jewelry business from A to z. Al

think it, but he is a Scandinavian
and is proud of it. He has dark eyes
and brown hair and is the same
height as his boss, but not quite so

He differs from the "Boss'' in
many ways, one Of them being that
he is content with spelling his name
without the "E''' on Earl. He wears
his hair "a la pomp DOR which
