Rich


Arrangements are practically COM
pleted for starting again the mills of

sufficient capital to ensure steady
operation which will add much to the
weekly pay-rolls of the city.
The business will be under the SUI
pervision and care of Mr. Rich, a
most capable business man and thor
oughly experienced in all departments
of the cereal business, having spent
sixteen years in the wholesale grocery
business and for the past six years ac-
lively engaged in rice and rolled oat
milling. Mr.. Rich expects to move his
family to Keokuk in short time, oc'
cupying a house ne has engaged on the
north side.
The company is to be congratulated
on its good fortune in securing the
services of Mr.. Rich as it means sue
cess to the local plant.
