PARTNERSHIP Of FIRM
HAS BEEN DISSOLVED
Fred Slater and :. w. Goodies
Dissolved Partnership
Goodies TO Continue.

The wcil-known firm of Slater d
Goodies, dealers in mems wear, has
been dissolved, and through purchase
Mr. c Webeen etaoin un un etaoin n
+. w. Goodies becomes the sole own
or Of this Alma store. The deal for
the store was closed on Monday, Mr..
Goodies taking over the ownership at
that time.
Mr.. Goodies came to Alma from ST.
Johns two years ago and at that time
became associated with Mr.. Slater in
this business, which has enjoyed a
rapid and healthy growth. When the
two first became associated two years
ago, small store on the south side
Of Superior street was being used.
but the fine patronage enjoyed by this
firm soon caused ii to seek the larger
quarters ON the north side of the
street where il is now located.
Before coming to Alma. Mr.. Goodies
was for sixteen years at the head Of
various enterprises in St John as
manager, d number of these years be
ing spent as manager of the John
Hicks store, one Of the oldest and
argest in that city. While manager
e this store, Mr.. Goodies secured
some extremely valuable buying ex-
Doricnce, as he did the greater part
i the purchasing for this institu-
ton.
Nh Slater, who leaves the Alma
store. viii now devote his entire time
TO the Slater store In ST. Louis, which
he purchased about a year ago, which
was at that time known as the Ty-
roller Emporium.
Both Of the former partners have
erjoycd fine reputation in the bus
mess circles Of this city in the past,
and it is with regret that the Record
announces that one Of them is to be
lost to the business interests of the
city.
Nh. Goodies is announcing a sweep
ing sale Of summer goods in this
weeks Record as a starter, and his
advertisement which will be found on
another page Of the Record is worth
looking over.

TWO MEN BITTEN

living west of this city, were recently
bitten by mad dog and both are now

the pasteur treatment. Five cows,
a pig and a mule were also bitten

The dog was taken sick about a
month ago, and at this time did the
biting, but nothing was thought of
il. Last week one of the COWS was
taken sick and DR.. Erwin was called
out, and in less than two hours the
COW had died. Dr.. Erwin took out
the brain and sent it to Ann Arbor
and in the course OF few days re-
ceived word that the COW had died
from the rabies Donovan and Ray
craft were Immediately informed,
and after consulting local doctors left

Yesterday, a second cow died from
the rabies.

Alma Development Company Or
ganized and Will Build
Houses by Hundreds.
CAPITAL is 100000
kcnsington Heights Hcmes Company
Has Been Taken over by The
New Corporation.

The Alma Development company, a
Incw 100000 corporation here, solve
ono ci Tie w0s, problems that the
city OF Alma has had TO contend with
uce 81 started to take ON the rapid
growth which has marked it's prog
ress during the past few years. tle
problem Of housing properly the pco-
plc who must live here, not 70 mem
zion The hundreds of others who
would make Alma their home If good
houses could be secured.
The problem that Alma has had in
this respect has been constantly with
.hci since the days Of the organizing
of the Republic Motor Truck company
four years ago. The great growth Of
the Republic has been in the main
responsible for this growth, but the
other industries Of the city have also
contributed and with this demand
Alma's problem came. She has not
bocn able TO keep pace with the hous-
ing demand since that time, such has
been the rapid gowth that she has
enjoyed.
People were and .tll are forced to
live in tents and in hastily construct
co shacks. that would give a Temporal
ry relief to them, and shelter them
from the ciments. Such Shacks and
tents have been used to house entire
famibes. even through the cold winter
weather in some cases.
Alma has tried to keep pace with
the demand for houses, but individual
effort and the efforts Of the small cor
porations which have sprung up have
been admittedly inadequate to take the
situation in hand.
AS result of this few public
spirited citizens got their heads to-
gether, went out and secured the
backing and this 100000 building
corporation, with its stock fully paid
IN, is the result of their efforts, and
now Alma seems TO have gone a long
way towards solving her one biggest
problem. as this company expects to
construct 300 houses in Alma before
November 18th.
The company has taken over the
Kensington Heights Homes company.
together with its assests and liabil-
tiles. The Kensington Heights sub
division is included in this, and the
new company is changing the plat.
The streets will be boulevarded and
some fine residences constructed at
once. Some of these better class
homes are even now under construc-
ton.
Not only the company builds upon
its own lots in kensington Heights,
but will build anywhere in the city,
where there is a demand for houses.
Owners of lots can get houses con-
structed for a small payment down
and the balance on easy time pay
