Another change in the business
circles of Milbank was consumated
last week, when Mr.. C. M. Bowe
sold his racket store business to the
N. M MacPhee Co., and for severa!
days the store has been closed for
the purpose of taking inventory.
Mr.. MacPhee who is an Aberdeen
man, is associated in the business
with Mr.. p. R. Johnson, of
Chicago. Both gentlemen come
well recommended from the bust
ness circles where they have
heretofore been moving, and Mil
bank gives them a hearty welcome.
The racket store has had a very
successful business under Mr..
BoWe's management, but his fail
ing health compelled him to retire
from the store business for a time
at least.
