SCHEMPF DRUG CO.
JOHN SCHEMPF SELLS INTER-
EST TOW. G.. ATWELL.
Retiring Merchant Will Take Much
Needed ReSt-Will Visit Boston,
New York and Atlanta. Ca
Successor Now in Charge of
BusineSS-A Model Drug Store.

1t has been known for several day
that there had been change in th'
Schempf Drug Company and the Lead
er has been anxiously awaiting th'
time when it could impart the infor
nation to it's readers, but was re
quested not to do so by Mr.. Johr
Schempf and the new purchaser of hi!
interest for certain reasons best known
to themselves.
After a business career here Of sev.
en- years. Mr.. Schempf has disposed
of his interest in the business to Mr..
w. G. Atwell, who has already as
sumed charge of the business. 1t is
with many regrets that Mr.. Schempf' s
many friends learn of his retirement
from the business which he began
seven years ago with modest begin
ming, till he has worked up an envia-
BILE reputation and excellent business
IN fact drug store that is model
of beauty and one that would be a
credit to any city much larger than
Watertown. The regrets are more
keen when it is known that Mr.
Schempf at no great distant date is
to engage in business elsewhere.
Mr.. Schempf's decision to retire
from business was primarially to take
a much needed rest. The close con-
finement to the store and strict atten-
tion to business for the past several
years has impaired his health to con-
siderable extent, therefore he has de-
cided to take we'll earned vacation of
two months and enjoy trip. He
will soon leave for Boston, where he
will attend the annual convention of
the United Drug company. From
there he will proceed to New York
City and from where will go to Allan
ta, Ga, where he will attend the
gathering OF the National Association
of Retail Druggists. .Uron returning
to Wisconsin ne will take up business
interests elsewhere. He will take
with him the best wishes of his many
Watertown friends for pleasant
journey and all trust there will be a
complete restoration to robust health.
AS previously seated, Mr.. Atwell
has already assumed charge of the
business. He is a young man of fine
appearance and address anu will no
doubt keep the business up to its past
standard of excellence and prosper as
his predecessor has. Mr.. Atwell
comes here from Colby, Wis. He has
had several years experience in busi-
ness and comes highly recommended.
His family will arrive the latter part
of this week and thereafter will call
Watertown their home. Mr.. At
wells father, who is physician,
it is understood, will also make Wat
ertown his home in the near future
The Leader joins in extending the glad
hand of fellowship and wishes them
unbounded success.
Mr.. Schempf expresses his regret
in the following wo ds:
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
l hereby give notice that have
disposed of my interest in The
Schempf Drug CO. to Mr.. w. G. At
we'll who will in the future conc uct
the business on the same liberal policy
as heretofore and for whom | respect
fully solicit the same generous patron
age which | have enjoyed in the past.
All outstanding accounts up to Sept.
l, 1906, are payable to me and such as
remain unpaid within ten days will be
placed in the hands of an attorney fol
collection.
| wish also to take the opportunity
of thanking the public of Watertowr
and vicinity for the very liberal pat.
ronage accorded me during my bust
ness career in Watertown and by
means of which l have been enabled
to build up the large and profitable
business which | enjoyed.
Respectfully
Sept. IL, O6. John w. Schempf.
