Purchased a Hardware Store

Chas. H. GAGE, a well known young business man of this city, has purchased the hardware store of Henry A. SPIELMAN on the west side of the park. The deal was consummated Monday evening, and Mr. GAGE is now in charge of the business. He will make a good many additions to the stock in the near future, and hopes, by giving the business his personal attention, to receive a liberal share of trade in his line. He is a young man of excellent habits and good business training and will be a welcome addition to the commercial life of Fairfield. Louis J. HERSHBERGER will remain in charge of the shop. Mr. SPIELMAN will now spend all his time on the road.
