"A SWELL WEDDING Billed SELLS OUT
Unknown Dry Goods Man Re-
tires from Business
WILL GO OUT WEST
George herberser of Osakis Buys
the Stock and Takes A. Swenson
As a Partner

Me, Billed, the well known dry goods
man of Sank Centre, has sold his
stOcl, and will 60 west.
Mr.. Billed has had this move in
mind for some time, as he has been
closely confined to business for a good
many years, and feels that he needs
rest and change of scene.
Mr.. Billed has been a resident of
Sank Centre for the past twenty
years, during all of which time he has
been engaged in the dry goods bust
ness. He has been wanting to sell for
some time, as he had purchased some
Oregon land. Mr.. Billed says his
plans are not matured, but he will in
time 60 west and grow up with the
country on fruit farm. Their many
friends and acquaintance in Sank
Centre will miss Mr.. and Mrs. Billed,
who have been prominent in business
and society circles. The good wishes
of all will go with them to their new
home.
George Herberger of Osakis pur-
chased the stock, the deal being clos
ed late Friday evening. Mr.. Herberg-
took possession Saturday morning.
E. w. Cruise, from Mr.. Herberger's
Osakis store, came down Saturday
morning and took charge. Later Mr..
Herberger sold half of the stock to A.
Swenson, former partner of his
in business at Breckenridge Mr..
Swenson arrived on Monday morning
and will look after things. Mr.. Her
berger is one of the hustling mer-
chants of Osakis, where he has been
in business for the past eighteen
years. He is we'll known here, his
father c. G. Herberger being one of
the prominent and well known citi-
zens of Sank Centre. Mr.. Herberger's
we'll known business ability will
doubtless be in evidence in his Sank
Centre enterprise.
Mr. Swenson was a clerk for Mr..
Herberger some years ago and then
went into business for himself at
Breckenridge, where Mr.. Herberger
was partner. The new management
is busy this week getting acquainted
with the business.
