Once not so long ago, McBRIDE Brothers were business boys in our city and now another generation is going in the fathers foot steps, Murrow McBRIDE is, Message boy and Wm. McBRIDE , Jr., is in at G. A. COBB's. If Wm. Jr., or famillarly " Bud McBRIDE ", developed to be the clerk his father was, Mr. COBB will be fortunate to have him.
