Firm of 8. Cantor G. Co., Now Already
in Possession.


The store at Pownal Center, gener
ally known as the Charles Myers
store but which has recently been
conducted by Louis Niles, has been
purchased by the firm of b. Cantor &
Co. OF this village and the new pro,
prietors are already in possession.
The store Is one OF the old business
stands of the county and Is known to
all of the residents Of this section. II
is the intention of the new owners to
put in a complete stock OF staple
groceries at once and eventually some
other lines may be carried,
Pownal patrons Of the firm of b.
Cantor & Co.. have been urging the
firm to purchase the store for some
time. Since the suspension OF service
on the Bennington and North Adams
line of the Berkshire Street Railway
system the people living in and about
Pownal Center have been unable to
make frequent trips to Bennington
and have thereby suffered consider
able inconvenience in trading. The
lchange will be to their advantage as
| 1t will be possible for the new owners
to keep the Pownal store supplied
from their large stocks on hand here
| in Bennington
Wallace Dorman has been made
manager Of the store and it Is the in
tention to make the same scale OF
prices that prevails at the Cantor
store in this village.
