was going to close out his entire business
and take long rest. Eight years ago Mr.
Condor purchased the business of Levin
Brothers. Since then it has grown to three
times its original size, but owing to severe
attack of rheumatism from which he has in
vain sought relief for nearly. year, he has

of the pains out of his joints, but decided it

ness cares for few months as this could be
brought about. He has other business inter-
ests in Weld county and expects to make this
his permanent home.
