JOHN F, TURNER BUYS ESTABLISHED
WHOLESALE GROCERY BUSINESS IN AUBURN

city. Miss Ruth Turner, the elder,
is now a student at Colby college.
Waterville, and the younger daugh-
ter, Miss Florence Turner, is a stu
dent at Mt. Ida School. Newton,
Mass.
By the deal which has Just been
consummated, Mr.. Turner becomes
the owner of one of the best estab-
lished wholesale grocery businesses
in central Maine. The E. w. Gross
Company has ever been known as a
conservative concern, but its repu-
tation for square dealings and high
standard of business methods has
brought to that house q clientele
which is firmly established. E. w.
Gross. the founder. and whose name
the wholesale business bears, has
for some years had extensive bust
ness interests in Berlin. N. H., where
he is treasurer of the electric rail-
way utility.
Mr.. Cross New Hampshire inter-
ests have demanded much of his
time and attention, and the Auburn
business has been directed by his
associate in the firm, G. w. McAllis-
ter.
1t is Mr.. Turner's intention to con-
tinue the Auburn business with the
same policy which has characterized
it since it's founding a score of years
ago. The new proprietor will ex-
tend the wholesale business and is
convinced that there is a splendid
field for developing of wholesale
grocery business which will ade-
quately supply the territory which
it logically covers.

C0NY COMMERCIAL
STUDENTS ENTERED
IN Speed CONTESTS

sCony High school will be rep
resented by I'VE members of the
commercial classes, in the annual
state tnterscholastic typewriting and
shorthand contests. which are to Be
held next Saturday afternoon at
South Portland High school. Two
each will be entered in shorthand
and In Class A. Of the typewriting
contest, which 10 open to all stu
dents OF high and prep schools, who
are carrying at least four studies and
are not post graduates. One student
Will be entered in Glass b., which is
open 20 students who have not taken
over 80 hours of this subject.
The Cony entries win be. Class A.
Evelyn Sears and Elizabeth Jones:
Class B., Kathleen Fox; shorthand
Rebekah Higgins ana Katheri-
King. It 70 understood that the
are about 60 entries in the various.
classes in typewriting and about 70
in shorthand. This is a smaller
number than was entered last year
when the contests were held in this
city and about 125 students parti-
cipated.
Miss Fox. entered in class A., par
ticipated in Class B., last year and
took third prize. Cony High took
the State shorthand championship
through the fine work of Miss Flor
ence Hall, at that time, and It is
hoped that Cony High school may
again duplicate this performance.
Tho students participating this year
have many other activities to take
their time and it is thus much
harder.
The material for the shorthand
contest is to be supplied by Josiah
w. Taylor. agent for Secondary Edu-
cation Of the State Department Of
Education, and will be dictated by
Mr., Mann of the Maine School Of
Commerce.
The material for the typewriting
contests is to be supplied by Mr..
Kimball, the international contest
manager, who has supplied the ma
terial for the other contests that
have been held in this State. Mr..
King Of the Underwood company will
time the tests and all of the teach
ers present will correct papers. In
case of doubt over any paper, a
committee consisting Of Mrs. Nor
ris Varney of Cony High school, Mrs.
Boothby Of Portland High school
and one other who has not as yet
bee chosen, will decide the ques-
ton.
