WAUPACA  REPUBLICAN

October 5, 1888

 

            Mr. Nels West started Tuesday from Ogdensburg with a car of lumber, with which he will erect a store in Bancroft on the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway line.  It is in Kingsbury county a few miles from Iroquois where he already has a brother in trade – Peter West, who once clerked for R.N. Roberts, in this city.  Good luck to the enterprising Go-West-Young man.

 

 

            J.D. Koontz, one of the most popular agricultural implement dealers in the state, has been captured by a Michigan Manufacturing company, his service as traveling salesman to commence Jan. 1, 1889.  J.D. will travel in Wisconsin the first year and therefore will not remove his family from Waupaca.  But he advertises a closing out, at a discount and offers his business for sale.

 

                                                            At a Discount

 

            Having accepted a position as traveling salesman, to take effect not later than Jan. 1, 199, I have decided to reduce my stock as much as possible in the next 60 days and I offer as inducement a discount from regular prices of 15 to 20 per cent on buggies, and 10 per cent on wagons, and from 20 to 25 per cent on mowers, rakes, plows, sulky cultivators and fanning mills.  All other goods in proportion.
