MISS BLACK RETIREs FROM BUSINESS. Miss
Hattie M. Black has sold her dry and fancy
goods business on Main street to Allen l.. Cur
tbs. who will continue it, retaining her two
clerks. Mrs. Mary C. Colcord and Miss Eliza
beth Chamberlain. The business is good one
and was built up by Miss Black, who had never
had any experience, not even in clerking.
For six years she was employed in the shoe
factory, and realizing that this was too hard
work for her delicate strength she leased the
store in The Journal building in connection
with Mrs. H. B. Cunningham. and invested a
few hundred dollars in stock. Everybody
liked Miss Black and soon learned to have i'm
picit confidence in her word and judgment.
From the start she prospered, and as she said
"loved the work and enjoyed her customers"
She kept the best lines and was reasonable in
her prices. For nine years she remained in
The Journal Block and eight years ago moved
to 107 Main street, her increasing business de-
J manding more room. She sells only because of
| ill health, and will be missed by her many GUS
| toners and friends, who trust she may enjoy
well earned rest and improved health Mr..
