N. q. Benner and w. S. Begg it was
located in part Of the building on the
corner Of Third street and Dealers
avenue, now occupied by the Stanch-
field clothing store. General merr
chandise was sold and all on q small
scale. Three years after the stock
. was moved into the present quarters
but only half Of the space was occu-
pied, In the remaining years the pres
ent' business has been established and
the store to be proud of, has become
q permanent fixture. w. s. Begg, SEN
aor member of the firm, died about
three years ago.. Mr.. Benner Is now
controlling the interests Of the store.
