is understood. Mr.. welch did not
include the six buildings. which are

Chrisman for a period Of ten years.
In these six buildings and annexes
are housed the 20 departments of the

The sale Of this establishment I'M
doubtedly represents one Of the big

been consumated in Richmond and
Madison county in many years. And
the severance by Mr.. WEIGH of his
connection with the establishment,
founded by his father little over
20 years ago, marks an important
milestone in the history Of the com

Taking over control of the business

Mr.. WEIGH found IL doing a business
Of about $4,000 year. Its last
