DR. MORTENSON SELLS PRACTICE

 

            On Tuesday Dr. O.N. Mortenson, with office in the Old National Bank block, sold his practice and equipment to Dr. Fremont E. Chandler of Chicago.  As soon as both men can adjust their business affairs, the one in Chicago and the other in this city, Dr. Mortenson will vacate and Dr. Chandler will assume charge of hte work; this undoubtedly will be within a couple of weeks.

            Dr. Mortenson, who is an alumnus of the Waupaca high school and of hte College of Physicians and Curgeons of Chicago, with special training in one of the larger hospitals of Chicago, has enjoyed an exceptionally wide practice wince locating, professionally in this city about four and one-half years ago; he has made good especially in surgery.  As soon as he can get saway he will go to Chicago for a few weeks’ work in clinics and lectures, especially devoted to surgery to which line of medicine he will give much of his attention.  His plans subsequent to this are still unformulated.  We are all loath to lose him from this community.

            Dr. Chandler needs no introduction to the people of this community who were residents here twenty or more years ago and to many of us who came here later he is also facorably known.  He, too, is an lumnus of the local high school, of a reputable medical school and has been closely associated with Dr. A.J. Oxner of Augustana Hospital of Chicago, one of the greatest authorities on surgery in this county.

            We are pleased to welcome Dr. Chandler and bespeak for him great success in this field.  He has purchased Dr. Mortenson’s residence at 501 S. Division St., where he will make his home.
