WHOLESALE HOUSE
FOR GROCERIES TO
BE OPERATED HERE

Final arrangements have been made
for establishing a wholesale grocery
in this city which will be operated by
the Greasy corporation of Louisville,
Kentucky, a concern conducting a
long line of grocery houses through
out the United States. The deal was
closed with F. w. Wilder yesterday.
whereby the new company becomes
owners of the building on Alpha ave-
nue. formerly occupied by the Man.
chester Biscuit company.
It is expected that the new business
will be operating before winter, it vas
announced, and arrangements are now
under way for fitting up the establish
ment. In st. Paul the company also
operates a wholesale house. besides in
several places throughout the south
west.
The building in which the new BUSH
ness will be set up has been used as
a storehouse for nearly six years.
During the last year a local automo-
bile firm used it to store cars. 1t was
built by the Golden Grain Biscuit
company and was later sold to the
Manchester Biscuit COMPANY.
