Brose was a “good fellow” and his friends here will be glad to learn that he has made a great business success at Michigan City. He recently purchased a large business block there, which he is remodeling and* making into a hotel building. His investment will be about $23,000. The hotel will be modern and will rank as one of the best hotels of that city.
