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. By this connection we hope to continue to help you
make many savings In your grocery purchases.
We appreciate your loyal patronage In the past which has helped
us to build up the fine store In this city. We hope to continue to merit
your patronage In the future. The same people will be here to serve
you and your Interests will be their in terest
