Valued Firm Lost.

With the passing of the firm of
5. H. Burris, Inc, from the busi-
ness world, our community loses
one Of its greatest assets.
: Established by S. H. Burris
some ten years ago the business
was in flourishing condition at
the time Of his death and was
continued 90 the same policies, a
strictly cash business, by the eld-
est son Of the family, Newton
Burris, whose business manage
ment and genial personality won
a really phenominal success for
the firm. The accidental killing
of the young man while on a
hunting trip five years ago caused
another change in the business
when Mrs. Burris herself as>um.
ed charge and with its extension
into general furnishing business
the firm was enlarged, with D. E.
Sheridan as President and gener.
al manager and Mrs. BurriS Vice
President.
This firm now has gone out Of
business so thai Mrs. Bulrls can
retire to private life, and its loss
will be SO keenIy felt that an et'
fort will be made to interest others
in the situation here and the hope
is, to SEE another business quickly
established and flourishing in
this stand.
