Big Business Deal Closed

One of the biggest business
deals consummated in Gran S
vile for some time was closed
the latter part of last week when
a company composed of R. p.
Mollohan, VIM. Deems and Harry
Smith purchased the large gen.
eral merchandise store of G.. S..
Smith. An inventory of the
stock will be made the latter part
OF this week and the new owners
will be in charge by the first of
the New Year.
With the retirement of Mr.
Smith the business career of
one of the oldest and most prom
inent figures in the commercial
life of Grantsville is brought to
an honorable and successful
close. Mr.. Smith has been in
business here at the one stand
for nearly a half a century and
during that time, by a policy of
honest and upright dealing, he
has built up a trade and follow
ing of customers which could not
be taken from him. The custom
ers will miss him from behind
the counters, although they real
ize that his long service entities
him to a rest.
The new firm is composed OF
active and energetic young bust
ness men who will continue tc
carry out the same policy OF
square dealing and who have the
vigor and pep necessary to make
the business one of the towns
most progressive and uptodate
institutions.
