IMPORTANT TRANSACTION
Marion Hardware Company, One of
OcaIa's Largest Business Houses,
Has Changed Hands

One of the largest and most impor~
place in Ocala in some time was clos
ed this morning when most of the
stock of the Marion Hardware Com
pany passed into new hands, Mr.. p.
Fl. Nugent and others holding a ma
jority of the stock, disposing of their
Interests and new men now own the
company.
The gentlemen now IN charge of the
company and owning the stock are
Mr.. w. p. Preer, who has been man.
ager of the company's store for two
or three years; DR.. E. G. Peek, Mr..
Thurston p Drake and others.
The new stockholders are among
the most successful business men of
the city. They will meet in a. short
time and elect officers to fill the bal
ance of the company's fiscal year.
The Marion Hardware Company is
one of the largest mercantile estab-
lishments IN the city. Despite the
handicap of war conditions for the
past two years it has made money and
increased it's business very substan-
italy, and with the new organization,
the putting into effect of plans which
have been in view and the general inn
provement in business throughout
this section of the state, the stock
holders expect TO make a most attrac-
tive showing during the year.
Mr.. Preer, the manager, has prov
.cn an able man in charge of the store
He has spent a lifetime in the hard
ware business and knows it thorough
II and has proven very popular with
the public and business getter.
Since its first establishment in the
city, cumming down through the var
ious changes in name and manage
ment, the Marion Hardware Company
IS one of the oldest business houses
in town, probably not half a dozen
remaining now that antedate it.
The possibilities are almost limit
less for business here IN this line.
The great phosphate fields will soon
be teeming with activity. the farmers
are more prosperous and there are
two acres of land being titled now
where one was titled few years ago,
and with the Sid of" on war restric-
tions and the incident business hand
leap, the gentlemen now in charge of
the company's affairs are going to
wake up and advance shoulder to
shoulder with Ocala and Marion
county in the progress and prosper
lity that is coming.
A very large stock of goods is be-
ing carried, carload shipments have
always been bought where possible
and the public is given the advantage
on the lower rates that the company
Is able to sell goods at and the store
| is able to handle large orders from
the big mills and plants nearby al
prices that are attractive to- the big
firms.
The Star predicts a bright future
for the company and the gentlemen
who have invested their money in its
stock.

Live Stock Show

Every farmer in the vicinity of War
rem who has a steer or market heifer
either below or above 10 months of age
or both will do well to write to Supt.
G. G. Selvig of the State Agricultural
School, Crookston, regarding the prem
iums offered for market cattle at the
coming Winter Stock Show to be held
in the new Red River Valley Live
Stock Pavilion the week of February
10. The same is true of those who can
exhibit three market hogs and three
market sheep. These classes are not
open to breeding animals. The Nor
thern Packing Company, Grand Forks,
offers $25.0O cash to the champions in
each Of these three classes, $3.50 on a
$500 silo will go to the owner Of the
best steer. In addition, the Winter
Show offers premiums from $40 to $12O.
There will be d good show. of breeding
classes and it is hoped, in addition, to
have these three market classes well
represented. If the modesty of the
owner of good steers, high class bar
rows or ,wethers prevents him from
writing Superintendent Selvig, any in
terested neighbor should do so and
urge their exhibition. The Sheaf
urges our stock raisers to look into this
matter as there are many in this vicin-
ity who can show splendid stock
