Charles W. Pickford.
A Substantial Citizen Whose Private and Business Career is Viewed With Pride.
Charles W. Pickford, an excellent portrait of whom, is presented herewith,
was ushered into the world in the city of Cork, Ireland, on the 15th of August,
1829. His earlier years were devoid of any remarkable rexperience. Arriving at a
sufficicient age he entered a dry goods establishment at Dublin and gained a
through knowledge of the business. Mr. Pickford emigrated to America in 1850 and
located in Toronto, where he successfully engaged in mercantile pursuits for
many years. In 1876 he came to Chippewa county and located where the prosperous
village of Pickford now stands. He was the first white person to settle in that
vicinity. He engaged in farming, prospered from the start, and acquired much
valuable property there. As the years rolled on he witnessed the growth of a
thriving settlement at that place both the township and post office of Pickford
being named in his honour. Mr. Pickford was the first treasurer elected in
these early days and was also honored with other offices of trust. Habing
achieved a competancy in 1884, Mr. Pickford removed to this city and prepared to
take it easy for the remainder of his days. He could not endure an inactive
life, however, and in 1886 he embarked again in the dry goods business here. As
usual he was fortunate, and his trade continually increased until 1890 it
amounted to 71 percent more than in any previous year and in 1891 it was $10,000
greater than in 1890. Mr. Pickford was elected in 1890 as alderman for the
Second ward and in the election last Monday was returned for another term. He
is one of the city's substantial citizens and his business career is one which
he and his friends can look upon with pride.

A Favorite Son.
Picture and Sketch of General Russell A. Alger.
....
A penniless orphan at thirteen, a ployboy at twenty, a country pedagogue, a
lumberman, a soldier, a governor, and now five times a millionaire, are the
seven stages in the life of Russell A. Alger, says a correspondent to THE NEWS.
The story of Mr. Alger's life, although readins like a tale of Aladin's lamp,
shows vividly the possibilities of this country's citizenship. The general's
parents lowly-New Englanders had on private car when they yoked up the old oxen
and started for the woods of Ohio to cut out a new home. The region about Medina
county was then in the far, far west and almost as primitive as the remote
corner of some unexplored country. Here the family settled and proceeded to
raise a mixed line of uncertain crops. Gradually the new soil submitted to
tilling, and just when it was producing enough grain for family use, young Alger
was born, February 27, 1836. He was not regarded as a very useful addition to
the family until he became old enough to "tote" the corn to the nearby mill and
bring back the meal. The farm proved a failure and yielded not enough to pay
its mortgage. Then it was that the boy, first felt the harshness of the world,
as he hired himself for a few cups of meal a day to do a man's work for a
neighbor. The meal went into the family pot. This arrangement lasted for some
time until the boy, mustered courage to ask sixpence a day. It was during this
prosperous engagement, when twelve years old, that his mother died. The next
year he lost his father and his sister, leaving him the sole support for a
younger brother and sister. It was a hard tug for him, but upon canvassing the
neighbors he discovered they were unanimous in their opinion that he was worth
about three dollars a month. This much one good man concluded to venture on
young Alger's services, clinching his bargain, with an offer of four dollars for
the second month, and five dollars for each of the four other in the contract.
.... in 1860 Alger came to Michigan; Grand Rapids was selected as his home. He
began business as a lumber dealer, .... marrying Miss Annette Henry .... Two
unmaried daughters Misses Frances and Fay and two boys complete the family
circle....

Photograper W. J. Bell.
A Young Man Who Has Achieved Remarkable Success in His Avocation.
The career of W. J. Bell, the Soo's artistic photographer, is an excellent
illustration of what pluck and enterprise can accomplish. Mr. Bell was born in
Peterboro district, Ont., May 12, 1862. He located in the Soo five years ago
and began in a tent the photographick business that has since experienced a
gratifying growth, until now he can compete with any similar establishment in
the Upper Penisula, in volume and quality of work. Mr. Bell has just enlarged
his quarters by securing the room lately occupied by Conway's city drugstore
which was fitted up in elegant style as an office and sales room, with reception
and toilet rooms in the rear, with an easy stairway leading to the second floor,
where the operating and workng rooms have also been much improved. At his
opening last Monday Mr. Bell made a great record. He took the negatives of 149
children in six hours and fifty minutes, being an average of one about every two
and a half minutes. Out of this number only three negatives were defective.
Mr. Bell's "baby day" was so successful that he has decided to give the old
folks a treat as well, an accordingly announces that every person over 50 years
of age can have a free photo taken at his establishment on Monday, July 11.

Co. for a year. Four years ago last April, the business of this firm was bought
by Mr. Given and F. L. Higgins. Messrs. Higgins & Given continued the
business until the 24th of last April when Mr. Given bought out his partner's
interest and at once began to make extensive changes for the better. .... Mr.

education, graduating with honor at the Albion high school, and afterwards took

salesman for the Bennett Sewer Pipe Co., of Jackson, and he resigned this
position to engage in the grocery trade in this city, which move he has never
regretted. Mr. McKinney formed a partnership with R. W. Peppard of Jackson,

H. B. Shellito.
A Striking Example of What Can be Achieved by Perseverance and Energy.
The career of H. B. Shellito, proprietor of one of the Soo's leading
jewellery establishments, is a striking instance of what can be accomplished
under trying difficulities by a man of perserverance and energy. Born in
Crawford county, Pa., June 6, 1858, of poor but honest parents, he was compelled
at an early age to lend his assistance in the struggle for existence. At the
age of 16 he settled in Lower Michigan and for three years worked at the
carpenter's trade. This occupation being uncongenial, he decided to become a
watchmaker and jeweller, and in the light of past experiences this move was a
wise one. In 1886 Mr. Shellito was attracted to the Soo. With barely a dollar
in his possession he managed to start into his present business here on a small
scale. By reason of his good work, carefull management and liberal treatment of
patrons, his business has grown to vast proportions.....
