THE SITE OF THE 1898 BURROUGHS STATIONERY STORE Edgar Rice Burroughs returned to Idaho in spring of 1898 to help his brothers in spring roundup. That fall he used a loan from brother Harry to purchase a stationery/photo business from a Mr. Roeder at 233 West Center Street in Pocatello. The store was not a success and by spring of 1899 he had sold it and had returned to Bar-Y to help with the roundup. .
