Leon Men Open New Clothing Store at Kellerton.

The Grimes-Grogan Clothing Co. opened a new store at Kellerton last Saturday, the proprietors being M. F. Grimes of the Grimes Clothing Co., of Leon, and Maurice Grogan, of Leon, who was recently mustered out of service [World War I] with the rank of lieutenant. They have a fine stock of new clothing and furnishing goods, and the people of Kellerton and vicinity will find Maurice Grogan, who will be in charge of the new store, a welcome addition to the business interests of that town. There is not a finer young man in Decatur county, and he will make friends in his new home. Lawrence Quiett, who formerly conducted the Grimes-Quiett Clothing Co. at Kellerton unil he was called to army service, has made arrangements to engage in the banking business in the near future.
