NOTICE Ownership Change • The garments of this stuffy age were washed by a process old as civilization. Women stooped and tugged. Women stretched and toiled. Dainty hands were chapped and coarsened— nails were torn and cracked—rubbing, rubbing, rubbing on a corrugated board. • • We wish to Inform our many friends and patrons that the A. R. dray Grocery Store In Springfield has been purchased by M. R. Irish and Dallas B. Murphy, who will condust the business after Saturday night, October 18. By the change of ownership Mr. Murphy, the man ager, becomes a part owner witlh Mr. Irish, who Is a very capable and efficient grocery man. The policy of the store will not be changed but with the purchase of an interest in the business by Mr. Murphy It will become more of a local institution than heretofore. Group buying, bo essential to good merchandising in this age, will be made possible through the connec tion with Mr. Irish, who has several other grocery stores in the Wil lamette valley.
