corner of Chicago avenue and Twenty-ninth street, successfully conducting the
enterprise for two years. Disposing of his interests, he worked for others for
about six years and then again entered business on his own account, opening a
bakery between Nicollet avenue and Blaisdell street in 1914, where he remained
five years. His business grew to such extensive proportions that he was
compelled to move to larger quarters and located in his present place at No. 4
