Richard Beck Buys “Billy” Merica’s Bakery at Lebanon.

Richard Beck came up from Lebanon this Wednesday morning and left this afternoon. He has just closed a deal for the purchase of the bakery belonging to “Billy” Merica, for whom he has been working for some time. The bakery has a fine business, five bakers being employed and some 10,000 loaves of bread being baked each week. Richard learned the baker’s trade under Mr. Merica, while he was located in Rensselaer and has been a diligent worker and his success is very deserving. He will now be the sole proprietor of the business, which will be good news to his many Rensselaer friends. Mr. Merica has not decided on a new location.
