Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 145, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 June 1911 — New Head of Town of Surrey May Be Kaiser of Surrey. [ARTICLE]

New Head of Town of Surrey May Be Kaiser of Surrey.

W. R. Lee continues to branch out in-the grocery business and it begins to look like he was trying to' get a corner on the stores in Jasper county. He agreed on terms of purchase for the Surrey store Monday and invoicing has begun. G. L. Thornton will retire after having conducted the business for about a year and a half. It is probable that Mr. Lee will place Lon Kaiser in charge of the Surrey store. Lon has had a fine training in the grocery business, having worked for several years for J. A. McFarland before going to work in the Home Grocery. When the Aix store was taken over by Mr. Lee recently ne placed “Duke” Nichols in charge and naturhlly the public speaks of him as “The Duke of Aix.” They will probably term Lon “The Kaixer of Swcrey." If Walter can find a King or a Prince or a Dowager Empress to put in charge of future stores he may buy, he will have the largest titled family in the U. S.
