Business Change

Friday, March 9, 1906

Business Change.

A business change that took everybody by surprise occurred last Thursday night, when M.J. Barber sold his hardware store to W.G. Meyers. The negotiations were begun Thursday afternoon and when the parties went home late that night the deal was closed. Mr. Meyers took charge Friday morning.

Mr. Barber has been engaged in active business for many years, and feels that he has earned a rest. Failing health also had a great deal to do with the prompt consumation of the deal.

Mr. Meyers has been a resident of Worthington for three years and of the county for eighteen years longer and is well known as a reliable and wide a wake business man. He has been engaged in the real estate business for some time, but as this takes him away from home a great deal he has been looking for an opportunity to get into the mercantile business here.
