Bergy Bros. opened a new mercantile establishment in Boyne City where customers came to see a fine display of goods and bought liberally. M.E. Bergy brought experience from two large Chicago mercantile firms, and S.J. Bergy had gained similar experience in Grand Rapids. The firm carried a general bazaar stock that included chinaware, toilet articles, stationary, confectionary, bound books, souvenirs, table and pocket cutlery, kitchenware, notions, and a large selection of post cards. The building was constructed in 1907 and also served as the Masonic Temple. Bergy Bros. operated a successful business there until 1925, and in the 1930's S.B. Neymark opened a dry goods store in the building that remained in operation for more than thirty years.
