KERR|CK STORE
IN new HANDS
Ed Sexton Leases Business
and Good Will of the
Hogan Mercantile
w. P. Hogan, Former Own
er, Has Been in Kerrick
80 Years.

An important business change came
about at Kerrick on July 1 when Ed
Sexton leased the good will and bust
ness of the Hogan Mercantile Co.
from w. P. Hogan who has been in
business there for approximately 30
years.
Mr.. Sexton announces that he will
conduct the business so that the maxi
mum of satisfaction to the public will
be given at all times. He needs no
introduction to the people of this Sec
tion since he was born and reared in
the Willow River community as the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Sexton. He
attended and graduated from the Will
low River high school and has since
that time been employed at various
occupations. During the past two years
he has been employed in the store
which will now be his own.
The new owner of the store is a
young man of many fine qualities and
has a pleasing personality which has
earned for him many friends. Two of
his hobbies are baseball and basket
ball and during the winter months he
has done good work for surrounding
high schools as a referee in basket
ball. He is a son-in-law of w. P.
Hogan whose business he has taken
over, having married Miss Doris Ho-
gan nearly three years ago.
Old Settler Retires.
Mr.. Hogan's exit from the store will
be looked upon with regret by large
circle of friends among the buying
public. He has been in the business
continuously since 1901. He was
among the first to settle at that sta
tion and has been greatly instrument
al in building the community to the
hustling little center it is today. His
first visit to the community, which
took the name of Kerrick from the
name of a one-time master carpenter
on the Great Northern, was 80 years
ago. At that time he spent about a
year there after which he was away
four years. Then he returned and
has been active there since. While
leaving the store into ether hands
Mr.. Hogan has retained the feed and
machinery business. This will better
enable him to take little relaxation
which he has found is necessary to
have during the past few years since
an automobile accident which caused
some injuries.
Mr. Hogan has reared a fine family
of three boys and five girls who are
all energetic and busily engaged max
ing their own way in the world and
his many friends, while regretting to
see him terminate much of his bust
ness activities, will wish him a pleas
ant and restful vacation.
