Waupaca Republican

July 30, 1908

Geo. H. Dobbins the Fremont merchant, village chairman, potato buyer and all around business man was in the city Monday and made the Republican a pleasant call. Seven years ago after teaching the village school in Fremont, Mr. Dobbins purchased the general store of H. Randle. He has in that time engaged in the potato business, the machinery business and has twice found it necessary to enlarge his store building. On the day in question he started in company with L.N. Starks of Chicago and going from Fremont to Dale, Hortonville, New London, Royalton, they arrived in Waupaca at three o’clock, making the run in Mr. Dobbin’s auto car. In addition they transacted business in all the places named and completed arrangements for Mr. Dobbins to take charge of the potato business of Mrs. Starks at Dale and New London stations in addition to that of his own at Fremont station.
