Therafter the Home businesses will all be conducted under the same roof at the corner of Washington and Third streets. MT. Pettid says he desires to announce that this move is not to be construed as a financial failure on the part of the Dairy restaurant On the contrary the place did a good business and was a profitable investment. The real truth is that the two places were doing too much business and the two places were making life too strenuous for MT. Pettid who decided there was less worry and about as much money in running one of them and giving all his attention to it. Therefore when the Racket market offered him a good price for the lease he let the Dairy stand go.
