Moving across the street, the G. A.
Fraley & Son merchandising estab
lishment, has opened what is known
as Fraley's Market, and while the
new store room is being used now it
will be several days before the stock
is completely arranged and the store
operating in an efficient manner.
L. M. Fraley manager of the market
states that the new location is better
adapted for his business, and that
within a few days he will be able to
care for his customers with more eff
cient service and with a line of high
grade merchandise including fresh
and cured meats, green and staple
groceries, etc.
By an advertisement appearing ir
this issue of The Republican, large
stock of merchandise will be disposed
of at prices below cost.
After extensive alterations are
made, which will require about two
weeks more time, the Coffman-Fish-
err company will move their stock of
goods from the Miller building into
the store rooms vacated by the G. A.
Fraley & Son company, in the Offutt
building. According to I. R. Rudy,
manager of the local store, a larger
stock of merchandise will be carried
in the new location and better service
will be possible for the buying public.
Several dressing rooms are being
equipped, and a comfortable corner is
being arranged for the convenience
of the public, in which writing desk,
stationery, etc., will always be on
hand. The manager expects to move
the present stock of goods into the
new rooms before July "a, which has
been set as the opening day.
