Peter Yegen--The subject of this sketch, who is now the head 
of thesubstantial mercantile firm of P. Yegenand Company, was 
born in Switzerlandin the month of August 1860. He came to 
America twenty years later, joininghis brother at Bismarck 
and with him came to Billings. These two youngforeigners 
have worked together a dozen years and have prospered, the firm
being rated as guilt edge throughout the country. Peter Yegen 
is a quietunobtrusive gentleman whose own business and home 
are all that he cares to interfere with. He is marriedand 
has several children and lives close to his business. During 
the financial depression of last winter P. Yegen and
Company weathered the storm with colors flying and in the 
spring commenced work on a large addition to their store 
building, which will certainly cost $10,000. The brothers are 
enterprising in many ways and liberal in all public charities.
