tor Company at New Ellington
last Tuesday evening, they
bought the Independent eleva-
tor from Mr.. Arneson. The
consideration was fixed at 50, =
500 which includes the coal bins
and flour house. This is con-
sidered very reasonable price,
as the structure is. built as we'll
as an elevator can be and is ex-
ira large size.
The new owners take pos
session about the middle of
July, and Mr.. Arneson will be
retained as buyer and manager.
MIR. Arneson holds the conf
dence of the commission houses,
as we'll as large part of the
local trade and it was largely
upon the advice and recommen-
dation of grain commission men
who believed that at least while
the company is new and un-
tried that a man of we'll known
ability and integrity should be
employed, that the board decid-
ed to retain Mr.. Arneson's SER
vices.

the Farmers elevator here will
prove big thing for the town
and tributary country.-New
