Zeller Business Purchased
G. W. Diefenbach recently pur-
chased the grocery business of c. S.
Zeller and took lease on the store
room occupied by Mr.. Zeller. The
new owner will move his dry goods
stock to the Zeller location in the near
future and handle both groceries and
dry goods. His present location in
the Hone building has become entirely
inadequate for the business. Mr. Eel
