An unexpected business change this week
is the sale by Barber Brothers of the
Brooks House shoe store to Sewall Morse
the well-known musician and telegraph
operator, and Fred U. Simpson of New
ork, formerly of Brattleboro. When
Barber Brothers bought the business last
spring they made a verbal trade for the
sale of their general merchandise store at
West Townshend, but this trade the parties
of the other part failed to carry out. and
both stores were thus unexpectedly left on
the hands of Barber Brothers, and the sale
of the BrattlebOro store is due to the fact
that both stores could not be advantage
ously handled by them. Their boot and
shoe business is understood to be in a pros |
porous condition and has shown gratifying |
increase during their management. Mr.. |
Theodore Barber, who has been in charge
will return to West TOwnshend for the |
