BUSINESS
CHANGED.
S. ]. Scovill Has Purchased a
Half Interest in The Ander-
son Bargain House.

An important change in business
affairs which has been in contempln-
tion for week or more past. was con.
summated today
S. j. Scovill, one of the best known
citizens of Mesa county has purcha sed
a one-half interest in the Anderson
Bargain House from A. N. Anderson,
the owner and founder of the bust
ness.
Stock taking has been in progress
for the past two weeks and was finish
ed yesterday and the sale of the inter
est in the business concluded today.
The Anderson Bargain House was
established in this city by A. N. An
derson in the year 1897, in November
of that year. The first place of bust
ness was ON Main street between 3rd
and 4th ON the south side, in an old
building, which has since been torn
away the site being at present occu-
pied by the building in which is con-
Quoted the Hardy Brothers commits
sion business.
The capital stock of the enterprise
at that time was only 5000 and the
business was devoted principally to
the handling of second hand goods.
Mr.. Anderson was good advertiser
and let the public know what he had
on hand at all times and his business
grew apace. In short time the bus
mess was moved to larger quarters,
into the room now occupied by the
Thompson Jewelry & Music company
and after short time in that build
ing. to its present location. The bus
mess has grown continuously until at
the present time it is one of the
| largest stores in the city of Grand
Junction, enjoying a splendid bust
ness.
The public has known the new
partner of this concern for many years
and have known also that he was a
most upright and conscientious bust
| ness man. He has host of friends
in every portion of the county and
ness. The firm name will be Ander-
son d Scovlll, but the name of the
store will not be changed. 1t is still
| to be known as the Bargain house, as
the firm does not desire to lose the
prestige of the name under which the
business has so long been conducted,
or the immense amount of advertising
which has been done in its behalf.
| The present stock of goods which
is large will be greatly increased and
| it will be conducted upon a large
scale.
The new firm will take possession
of the stock today.
| Later Anderson informs The
Sentinel that their company will in
