Lambert & Kerr Sell their Real Es-
tate and Business to Frenchtown Man

Lambert & Kerr, owners of the
largest coal yard and milling business
and auto dealers, have sold their hold
ings to Chester Niece, of Frenchtown.
Their property holdings were large
and included the coal business, feed
mill, canning factory and large
grounds surrounding it, and the large
brick building in which their head
quarters for Ford cars was located
and in which was stored thousands
of dollars worth of cars and parts
and accessories. The amount of
money that changed hands will run
up into six figures.
1t has been about twenty years
since Mr.. Lambert and Mr.. Kerr formf
ed a partnership and started in bust
ness here, and both being enterpris-
ing and square dealing men have
prospered from the start. Neither of
the partners have decided just what
they will do, but being active men,
there is no doubt but what they will
be active in some other business lat
er on.
Mr.. Niece, the. new owner, comes
here with high recommendations and
will open lumber yard and devote
his attention to that business, selling
the coal and feed business to other
parties.
This city without lumber yard at
the present time makes a good open
ing for Mr.. Niece and we wish him
much success.
