/ Of years employed in a downtown fur
! nlture store and being popular he de-
\ cded 20 lease the store recently vacated
at the corner OF Westminster and Bough
| streets. Carpenters and other crafts
! men were set 10 work 10 get the place
! In readiness and his prospects appeared
| TO be bright, until he was told by the
! head OF the firm that employed him that
! IL he opened the store they would open
one at 1913 Westminster street which
! Is almost directly opposite. and give
! him all OF the fun he wanted" As he
was going 10 open the store for business
instead of fun he came to the conclusion
| that the older firm would do him" and
| called the deal off.
