Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 September 1912 — W. R. Lee Buys Rensselaer Creamery. [ARTICLE]

W. R. Lee Buys Rensselaer Creamery.

Walter Lee, former proprietor of the Home Grocery, but recently engaged in the mercantile business at Newman, 111., has purchased the A. Merica & Son Creamery, known as "the Rensselaer Creamery, trading in on the deal an eighty acre farm in Walker tp., the consideration being $3,000, the same price paid by Mr. Merica when he bought it of Morrison, a few years ago for his son Dean, but whose health failed and he has been unable to look after the business properly for some time. Mr. took possession of the business immediately and, as he is a good business man and a hustler, will no doubt make a success of this venture as he has made in the past of others.
