CHANGE LOCATIONS
Redman Wholesale Grocery and
Adams Express to Move.

1t is expected that the coming week
will see two important business
changes in location in Alma, which
will effect the Redman wholesale gro
Gerry and the Adams Express com
pany.
The Redman wholesale grocery will
move to its new block on East Su-
perior street before the coming week
is over The new structure, while not
entirely completed, is so far along
that it can now be used. Ii will be
completed very shortly, as only a few
details remain to be completed.
The Adams Express company,
which has been enjoying rapid
growth here. has found its quarters
in the Horn G. Gibbs block on Wood
worth avenue, entirely too small for
the enormous business which the COM
pany has been enjoying locally, and as
a result the present Redman whole
sale grocery building on South Ora
tiot has been secured, and as soon as
the Redman grocery moves to its To-
cation the Adams Express company
will move it's offices to the building
vacated. 1t is expected that both of
these changes will be made in less
than a week.

Allen Burgy and Fred Thureau had
narrow escape from very serious in
jury of death last Friday when an
automobile in which they were rid
ing went into a ditch north of Forest
Hill, near the Parkinson church.

riding along the road, and started to
turn out, when the car skidded and
went into the ditch The automobile
overturned. Burgy was thrown out,
while Thureau went over with the
car Thureau was pinned beneath the
automobile, but it happened that the
ends were lying across the ditch so
that the weight of the car did not
come down on Thureau's body and
hence he escaped any injury, aside
from a few light bruises.
Burgy was more severely injured,
receiving a badly strained back, which
laid him up for several days.
The automobile, which was a new

estimated that it would cost about
