Whiting, Ind, Feb. 20-A deal was
consummated in the Smith & Bader
real estate office at One Hundred and
Nineteenth street late yesterday after
noon, which, when the news became
known, caused much surprise to Whit
Ing citizens.

| the Smith & Bader Real Estate COM
pany and the Davidson Real Estate

met region, as over the entire district
where their interests lie.

firms will take effect on March 1st, and
after that time the concern will travel
under the name of the Smith Bader-

abandoned and the firm will operate in

allied with the Davidson real estate
Office for the past six years, during

the new offices and will be employed
in the same capacity as at present, with
the Smith Bader-Davidson company.
