We regret exceedingly the failure
OF the Famous, one of our oldest and

ing been in business here for 43-years
and six months. The management
has always been of the honorable
square dealing kind, never any mis-

patrons, but business kept growing
less and less during the past year

Mr.. Lumpee thinks, with proper
management, the assets will pay all
creditors in full.
This failure may be ''nuts'' for the
calamity bowler, and yet, sometimes
business men are SO accommodating
