One Of the finest fruit farms in thi,

by Mr.. Ike Dean, the owner, to Mr.. Awe
Williams, who buys the farm as an in
vestment For years Wichita people have
been interested in Deans fruit farm, for
the finest fruits in Kansas were grown

in that farm, and It's products usually

Ike Dean DID when he came to this
country. The trees are in fine condition.
and judging from last year the new
owner will have a splendid lot Of fruit on
his new possession.
For some time Mr. Dean has had an
office in this city. He has many inter-
ests here and also in the western part
of the county and state. All combined,
the fruit farm and other business was too
much for Mr. Dean to handle properly,
so it was decided that the fruit farm
was to be sold. 1T was like parting
with an old friend" Mr. Dean said, "but
