This week Fred Cole closed a deal
for the sale Of his shoe business to
Gillispie & Rogers of Anoka, MINI.
The store was closed for inventory for
a day or two, but the new proprietors
opened for business today. The own
ers are practical shoe men and should
continue 20 receive the fine patronage
that has always been accorded the
store. Mr.. Coles health has not been
the best for the last year and his wife
has also been in poor health, and he
informs us that they will look up a
location, probably in the west, where
the climate will help them. Mr.. Cole
has been in business here for a good

whom we dislike to see remove from
Brookings.
