New Wholesale
Plans are we'll under way for the
organization of new company. The
new corporation papers have been
applied for and we understand that
it will be incorporated for s60,000
Amons those who have subscribed
to the stock are H. G. Allen, John
and Fred Dover. Draper Vanfossen,
DR.. c. E. Northrup, and H. H.
Brewster. Mr.. Allen who recently
sold his business at Unionville, has
been decided upon as general man
ager. Further than this no other
officers have been selected. The
name has not altogether been Sc
lected, but the one being given the
most consideration is "The Twin
City Grocery Co." Just how soon it
will be open for business is not
known, but 10 time will be lost in
getting the business started.
