Morris Hassin, the hustling junk
dealer, of Spencer, started on busi-

New York. Mr.. Hassan expects to be

fore he returns.

growing their childhood clothes, as
they are adding to the size of their

having been recently purchased and
moved up to connect with their build
ing. They are about to realize a

need of more room for a long time.
Wednesday our little town was a
real big city, if one judged from the

found that our Spencer State Bank

made the inner man of each stock
holder feel big. In the afternoon a
business meeting and election of Of
fcers was held. Our new bank is
prosperous if one were allowed to
judge from the appearance of it's
stockholders.
