Thursday, August 4, 1927Tennant & Anderson Buy Mill.
O. C. FRY, who has conducted the Mount Ayr mill for the past several months, sold his equipment and stock Saturday to G. A. TENNANT and J. M. ANDERSON, of Rice township, possession given Monday morning. The style of th enew firm will be TENNANT & ANDERSON and the business will be continued at the old stand, one block north of the northwest corner of the square. Mr. ANDERSON will move to Mount Ayr the latter part of August and Mr. TENNANT expects to move to the city later in the fall.
Under the management of Mr. FRY the mill has done a thriving business and there is every reason to preduct that under the new management the mill will continue to be one of the successful service institutions of Mount Ayr. The members of the new firm are well known. Having beenengaged in farming and stockraising for many years, they are thoroughly familiar with the needs of the farmers. It is the intention of the new firm to continue to do grinding for the trade, thus affording the farmers opportunity to supply their needs in this line a the lowest cost, and in addition they handle a full line of feeds.
