.BEMIDJls FUTURE BEST
S. D. segal Finds in This City Best
Opportunities in State To Main
tain Standard Of Berman Store
HOLD R0UsING OPENING SALE

With the close Of the day the we'll
known Berman Emporium goes out
of business. only to be succeeded by
Is. D.. segal Of Superior, who will
conduct the business under the firm
name of the segal Emporium.
The store will be closed today for
the purpose of taking inventory fol-
lowing which the new owner will
open with a mammoth spring sale,
announcement of which will be made
in the Pioneer at a later date.
For six continuous weeks Mr.. Sc
gal has travelled the country over
with a view of securing location
for a dry goods store. IT have
visited hundreds of cities through
out the northwest and have come to
the conclusion that Bemidji is the
best little city Of them all, !" he said
today.
"Bemidji is a city with a future"
he continued stand in my opinion it
will eventually become one of the
best and biggest trading centers in
the state. It is properly located
and with the rapid development Of
the surrounding country it is des-
tined to become The City in North
ern Minnesota. u
stOur aim is to maintain the same
high standard attained by the Ber-
man Emporium and where possible
to- improve the lines, introduce mods
5ern methods and to broaden out in
to new fields, thus doing our little
portion toward making Bemidji the
trading center it should be and is
bound to become.
s'Af ter we conclude our stock TAX
ing it is our intention to open the
store under the new name, introduce
ing, ourselves to the public with a
rousing spring opening sale In this
manner we will be placed in a posi-
ton to meet hundreds of citizens
whom we will learn to know and
who will learn ito know us and our
methods of doing business
In the departure of Mrs. T.. L..
Berman Bemidji will lose one of it's
most highly respected citizens and
business associates. During her
time in Bemidji she has won many
stauneh- friends personally and for
the store and has proven herself a
woman of business ability and a
true friend.
In Ike Blooston, who has been
connected with the Berman Empor-
i,lm since it's ornagization, Bednidji
has had "a live wire booster of the
first rank "Ike'' has always been
considered a leader among his num-
erous bachelor friends who will miss
his advice and council on problems
pertaining to matrimony. He is a
man who can see the bright side of
life, even in the face of adverse cir
|cumstances.
That Mr.. Blooston knows the dry
goods business is evidenced by the
fact that the Berman store has one
Of the cleanest and most up -to-date
stocks in the state. He was the
stores chief buyer and his Judgment
of merchandise was above par. His
going will be a loss to Bemidji.
The Segal Emporium will open
business with the good will of its
predecessors and the past reputation
of the new firm is such that Bemidji
has right to rejoice in their COM
ling. The merchants in Bemidji as
a whole are not to he surpassed by
any city in the entire northwest
They are a clean up-to-the minute lot
They are boosters in every sense 81
the word. They have the habit oil
getting together and doing things
and in them Mr.. Segal will fine
business associates and competitors
well worth the name.
