MacDonald & Russ

After Nathan Russ retired he turned his grocery business over to his son Everie. In 1914, the June 18th edition of the Robbinsdale Tell-It newspaper reported  the Loose Wiles Biscuit Company would hold a demonstration of its goods at the Russ-McDonald store. Everyone was invited to sample many delicious articles and the Russ-McDonald Store had completed a remodeling with a “new and commodius front put in.”
