If there is & sale of the store, it is to be hoped that' both Mr. Holverson and Mr. Paul Sroat. who is Interested with him, will remain in. the -city and con tinue to be a,, part of' the business and social life here. : It has been known bi' business cir cles that Mr. Stockton, has been am bitious to become a larger factor in the rade of the Capital City.- -The taking of Mr.. D. A. Dinsmoor into partner-; ship was a move In this direction, and if J. L.
