CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP.

Benjamin Klein, Former Manager of
the Union News Company, New
Owner of Ferry House News Stands.
Benjamin Klein, who has been man
ager of the ferry house news stands at
both street, New York, and Edge
water for the past five years, has SUI
perseded the Union News Com
pany, and is now sole proprietor. To
Mr.. Klein's personal work, more than
anything else, the success of these
newsstands is due, for he has labored
with untiring energy to build up
patronage of the right sort. The Union
News Company, instead of encourag-
ing such management, put the screws
down harder and harder on Mr.. Klein,
until, as he says, he could no longer
stand the pressure. Acting upon his
own initiative, and being popular with
the Ferry Company, he made applica-
ton for the lease, which expires in
June, and was awarded the plum. The
business is profitable, and was recog-
nized as one Of the best successes
made by the News Company.
Mr.. Klein desires his many friends
to know that he will at once make
complete change in the policy of the
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1907-05-01

The Beresford Park section of the

1t was also decided that Palisade
was entitled to a marshal by way OF
