. A deal was consummated Monday >y which Vernon Nowels disposed of ris restaurant and confectionary store on Washington street to Zern and Don Wright who took immediate possession. It was twelve years ago that Mr. bowels bought the business of which le just disposed. At that time it was a poor paying investment and offered but small opportunity. However, in the years that followed Mr. Nowels made of it one of the best business propositions in the city and at the present time the volume of business transacted in the popular restaurant is amazing. Mr. Nowels simply had the knack of meeting and holding his trade and he and his family made many friends who will regret to learn that they are to retire to a more private life. The new owners aye well known -to all of our citizens and will no doubt continue to operate the business in the same pleasing manner of the past. It is understood that they will resume the serving of lunches abandoned by Mr. Nowels on account of poor health and the added labor.
