Harness Shop Sold.
F.C. Stitser has sold his harness business to
Herman Schmid and Al Snyder, of Iowa. Mr. Snyder
has been working in the shop for some time and
Mr. Schmid was formerly employed there. They are
both experienced harness makers and good
business men. The deal was consummated Dec. 5,
but Mr. Stitser does not give possession until
Jan. 1st. He expects to move to Kansas City,
where he will engage in some business. He has
been in business in Worthington for 13 year, and
has built up a large and profitable trade, and

Mr. Potter's Troubles.
F.M. Potter and Co., have been making
arrangements to run a meat market in the Wilson
building, next to Harry Lewis' grocery. They
expected to have been ready for business last
week, but the health department called attention
to some legal regulations and they were delayed
a few days while posting up on the law and
complying with the requirements. They will open
for business next Monday, Dec. 10, with a full
line.
Mr. Potter believes that the Federal
constitution guarantees to every man life,
liberty an pursuit of happiness, and he will go
ahead with his venture on the same basis as the
three other shops. He says his establishment
will be open for inspection at any time.
