OLD BUSINESS

J. c. Pratt celebrated his 10th
anniversary in the garage business
in Kennewick last Friday. He was
laying extravagant claims as to
being the oldest business man in
Kennewick in point of continuous
operation. Investigation knocked
this claim into a cooked hat and
only left J. c. with his claim intact
as far as garages 60. Just by way
