F. M. Frizell met with an EN-.
barrassing though rather laughable
accident Monday when he walked
squarely through one of the big
plate glass doors at the Bargain
Store. The large glass extends to

it until he had walked squarely
into it breaking it into atoms.
The glass was insured and apart
from the delay in getting another
the loss will not be great.
