RACKET STORE CHANGES
Mr.. King Sells Out to c. M. Murray Of
Missouri.

Another important business deal
was consummated in the city Satur-
day when Geo. w. King put his sigma
ture to the papers that transferred
his right, title and interest in what Is
popularity known as the Racket Store
to G.. NJ. Murray. The store will be
closed Monday and Tuesday for the
purpose of taking inventory of the
stock. AFTER that. the business will
be reopaned with Mr.. Murray in
charge.
The retiring manager of the Racket
Store came here from the east about
three and a half years ago, and since
that time has built up large and lu-
crative business fer himself, His rep
utation for fair dealing and honest
values have won for him the good will
of everyone who has had dealings
with him. He has not yet decided just
what line cf business he will engage
II: in the future, but it is probable that
he will remain in Pine Bluff.
Mr.. Murray, the new manager OF
the business. halls from the state OF
Missouri. Mr.. Murray came here to
be shown, and was thoroughly salts
fed with the showing made by Mr..
King: therefore he has decided tc
cast his lot among the people OF JET
ferson county. He is practical ana
successful business man, and that is
sufficient recommendation to one
engaging in his line OF business.
During the twelve years OF It's ex-
istence. the Racket Store has done a
splendid business, but never mas IL
excelled the prosperity to be accredlt'
ed to it during the management OF MI
King. If all indications do not fall, II
will have equally as prosperous ca
reer under the management OF the
rev proprietor Mr.. Murray.
