Mr.. Utz plans to leave as soon as
possible after the first Of the year
to investigate several locations for
the establishment Of a similar bus
mess on the coast.
MIR. Utz came to Kennewick TO
open the business for himself, after
having served as clerk in cloth
ing store in Prosser for several
years. He has made an outstand-
Ing success OF his venture and Is
now looking for a location which
will permit him to operate on
larger scale. His store has been
one of the most modern in eastern
Washington and his stock has been
on a par with the stores in the
larger centers.

agreement has been reached for the
change of ownership Of the Arrow
Grill. Transfer of the license is
temporarily holding up this deal.
