Plan Reopening Of
l)ru<? Store Shortly
Purchasing the stock and fix
tures at a referee sale this morning,
Mr. ? B. Clark plans to reopen fur
business within the next three or
four days. Plans for reopening the
drug store are being delayed pond
ing confirmation of the sale-by the
court. Bringing what was general
ly believed to be a fair price, the
stock and fixtures are not likely to
command an upset bid.
If confirmation by the court fol
lows tomorrow, Mr. Clark will start
making arrangement's immediately
for opening the store for business
possibly next Tuesday or Wednes
day.
Several parties participated in the
sale which lasted about 45 minutes.
Sold separately, the business brought
around $2,000, but when offered as
a whole, it sold for $3,000.
