WILLIAMS CAFE NOW UN-
DER NEW MANAGEMENT

--------

Lester Bowen and Mrs. Olive Free-
man closed a deal today for the pur-
chase of the Williams cafe and were
given immediate possession of the
business. Mrs. Freeman, who has
been operating a rooming house at
Audubon, will move here as soon as
she can arrange her affairs there.
Mr. and Mrs. Bowen, with the help
of Mr. Williams are now running the
cafe.

The cafe, under the management
of Mr. Williams, has enjoyed a good
patronage. Jess has been in the res-
taurant business for several years
and has always put forth every effort
to serve the public.

Mrs. Freeman was employed in the
cafe until about a month ago, when
she moved to Audubon, so the work
will not be new to her. Mr. Bowen
has been farming and only recently
sold out and moved to town. The
new proprietors will make every ef-
fort to merit the patronage of the
people of this community.
