Business Changes
April first will find several busi-

Franck Schock, who so successfully
conducted a garage in the Ed. Ream
property the past year, will vacate
and occupy the large garage on
Henry street in the rear of Burgess
H. C. Schock’s residence. Mr.
Schock is having an office equipped
there at present.

Mr. Harvey Haw-
thorne, who was the boss mechanic at
both the Schock and Ream garage,

We bespeak abundant success for
all the above business men.

Last year about this time potatoes

fraction less than 17 cents a bushel.
