PETERSON CARPET co.

Far back in the year 1880 this COM
pany came into existence, while in the
year Of 1903 incorporation was made.
This is another of the bona fide staple
product articles manufactured in the
mill city and which has a reputation
for sheer excellence at all times. Mr..
Adolph Peterson, proprietor of the
firm, is the oldest carpet and rug man
in the business in the city of Mime
apolis since 1862 The only exclusive
ly domestic rug manufacturing
concern in the city. Over 1000 seam
less rugs are continually duplicated
from the mills. The company is
unique in its capacity as manufacturer
and rug pattern exhibitors selling to
dealers taking orders from rug cor
Germs. There are several of the Peter
son patents now extant, and more will
doubtless follow. The factory office
is at 40 Central Avenue, from whence
the output goes forth in the shape
of all known varieties of floor COW
erings. Mr.. Peterson serves not only
as proprietor but in the offices of
president. treasurer, and manager. The
good housewife will do we'll to post up
on rugs from the Peterson Carpet
Company for she then has the best
for the money.

STANDARDFOUNDRY.

This concern was established in the
year of 1893, and has been one of the
substantial and prosperous manufac-
turing firms of staple material To-
Gated in the city of Minneapolis. Third
and Central Avenues Northeast is the
plant situation and from whence all
tie output emanates. The product is
one of diverse and heavy nature, TAX
ing in all kinds of boiler fronts, the
II. anufacture of CRATE bars, furnace
castings, sewer castings, and all va
riety of general foundry and special
work. Mr.. Often Olson is the man.
ager and the man who supervises the
business in its entirety. To reach
either Mr.. Olson, or the plant Office,
call I'D on T. S. Spruce l73, and on the
N. w. make it East 20. This is
business which proceeds on an even
tenor the year through, and always
has an output for its product, no mat
ter whether the times are good or bad.
The Standard Foundry has an excel
lent reputation for the merit of its
manufactured articles and estimates
are furnished and shipments made to
many points far away from the plant,
here in the mill city, and the trade
is growing.

PIONEER DRUG co.

In the year of 1904 the Pioneer
Drug Company opened up at the cor
ner of Twenty-ffth and Central Ave-
nues. Mr.. H. E. Buffum, is the pro-
prietor in charge, and he first called
our attention to phone numbers of
East 9528 and Spruce "a, telling us
that when sickness or other cause ne
cessitated the expeditions putting up
of prescription, to phone him and
it would be carefully taken care of
Immediately upon receipt. There is
handsome soda fountain installed in
this drug store, and the very best in
quality of crushed fruits, syrups, phos-
pilates and ice cream is always ready
to order. Toilet preparations,s ponges,
package medicines, stationery, cigars,
tobaccos and the entire accessory line
so essential to the modern drug trade
is to be found in this store. The in
terror is we'll appointed and so ar
ranged as to afford the maximum of
service with the least possible effort.
Despite its being drug store, there
is nothing here that is drug on the
market.

CENTRAL FURNITURE &
CARPET co.

When this firm first opened for busl-
ness, all the store space was CONF
prised in that of the first floor, oc-
cupying p by 80 feet The growth
of the business now warrants the use
of AZ by 12O foot floor, with second
floor and basement filled up with
stock for good measure. Business has
increased wonderfully from practically
nothing up to the present highly sat-
isfactory one. 1t was in 1901 that the
house was first organized. Mr.. J.
Johnson is proprietor in charge. Com
plete house furnishers, is the way this
concern styles itself, as indeed it is.
The location is at 1924 Twentieth
Avenue North. All house furniture
and carpets, and rugs, ever manufac-
tured are here for SALE One can fur
nish his house from garnet to cellar

HARRY A. LUNDA.

The BRIDE of every day in the year
suggests that the. diamond engage

A. Lunda's Jewelry Store, and then
the 18-karat wedding ring, and she
wishes all of her friends to purchase
all their wedding gifts at the same

silverware, diamonds, a large assort-
ment of diamonds being always kept
on hand, that is, ready to put on the
hand. Watch repairing is done here
and speciality is made of it. UNI
brellas are repaired and this feature of
the service afforded patrons has made
big hit. The jewelry includes some
exceptionally fine lines in gold and
gold filled jewelry which is very at
tractive to the eye and of great dura-
bility and quality. A glassware dis
play has won the attention of many,
and ranks we'll up with the different

here. Give Mr. Lunda call, and see
for yourself that here is to be found
an unusually splendid jewelry stock

LEVIN BROS.

This business, which is one of fur
niture upholstering, was started in
the year of 1896, and on very small
scale. At the present time, results are
plain to be seen. Here is one of the
largest manufacturers of upholstered
furniture in the United States, and
known all over for the high grade
line of guaranteed upholstered furni-
ture and furnishings for the most
prominent and we'll known clubs, no.
tells, public reception rooms, and the
vast number of churches throughout
the length and breadth of the coun-
try. The establishment is situated at
% Main Street Southeast and it is
from this address that the huge flow
of goods emanates in response to the
orders focking in from the speci6ca-
tons and estimate figures furnished
day by day, and week by week. One
has little conception of how large a
volume of business is done by these
people until he has the opportunity
of going through the place of business
over on Main street and personally
checking up on same. 1t is a revela-
ton, and we'll indicative and illustra-
tive of what can be done from even
small beginning if the work, goods
and business principles of the COM
pany behind the product is all right
and up to the mark.

THE IRISH STANDARD

E. N. Treat is situated at 254O Cen
trail Avenue, where it has been busily
engaged in attending to the wants and
demands of the coal and wood buying
public for these last fifteen years, and
with considerable success resultant
from the efforts made to accord each
and every customer the quickest and
most efficient service possible to Sc
cure in this line of business. The
length of time which this firm has
been doing business, and the host of
acquaintance, friends, and custom
ers which it has to show for its labor,
speaks very highly for the business
ability of Mr.. E. N. Treat. When
the knock of old Boreas comes again
this early winter, do not worry, but
lay in comfortable supply of re-
liable and guaranteed fuel, whether
coal or wood, and see that you as
sure yourself of your purchase by
making it of the E. N. Treat place of
business.

least of the process is the system
whereby oil is burned. This company
has been manufacturing and selling
their product for something like thirty
years. The selling capacity of this
concern is one of ten million bricks
per year, which would ma Ike some
noble pile indeed. Those wishing to
do business with these people can call
ND on North 1924, and East 26O9 and
receive prompt attention. This firm
is one of the stable and staple manu-
featuring firms of the mill city and
the only trouble is to make enough
of the product to come somewhere
near meeting the steady and cont1n-
uous demand.

FOX & LONG.

In the year of 1890, the firm of Fox
& O'Brien was first organized, and
in the year of 1898, this concern be-
came that of Fox & Long, the pre-
sent one, which does undertaking and
funeral directing work. The address
of this company as many people we'll
know, is Is Fifth Street Northeast
The telephone number is East 100,
and Spruce 70. Undertaking and fun
eral work is all that is handled by this
concern, and they make speciality of
doing things right, the way people
want them to, and keeping closely in
touch with all developments in the
shape of taking care of funerals, CIV
ing the personal touch SO happy at
times, and the embalming and casket
work in which it is possible to achieve
considerable degree of taste and
understanding. The host of friends
which this company has made
in the past few years bears ample
evidence to the efficiency of their
method and system of doing business.
