NORFLEET & REAM
E. M. Cole of Williamsburg, Kan,
Buys the Big Store. i

The grocery and hardware store SO
Iona conducted by Norfleet & Rean
has been sold to L. M. Cole OF
Williamsburg, Kansas, who will IN
the future conduct the business.
No business enterprise in this part
OF the state has shown such phenom-
iral growth and wide popularity as
this popular store. About seventeen
years ago the members of this firm
came to Butler and opened up mod
est establishment on the west side OF
the square. BY untiring energy, cour-
teous treatment and fair prices they
soon built up a reputation that ex,
tended Var beyond the borders of the
county and they were soon forced to
move into larger Quarters. few
years ago when the automobile in
dustry was in its infancy, they were
far sighted enough to realize its in'-
mensc future possibilities. They pur-
chased the old Radford livery barn
on Ohio street and transformed It III
to an up-te-date garage and machine
shop. This work was under the
supervision OF F. c. .'Ream and Carl
Norfleet, leaving the immense gro
Gerry and hardware store largely III
charge of the senior member Of the
firm. Mr.. ]. X. Norfleet. The large
" increasing business in this branch,
together with the increasing years OF
Mr.. Norfleet, made it little too hard
for him to handle and it was decided
to retire from the grocery and hard
ware BUSINESS and devote the entire
attention of the firm to the Public
Garage, which has grown to be one
of the largest in this section.
MIR. Cole, the new owner, comes,
very highly recommended as bust
ness man and gentleman and there
is no doubt but that he will maintain
the well earned reputation Of the old
firm for fair dealing and just business
methods. He will be / welcome adj
dition to the business circles ,of But
