Wants to Start a Candy Store Here.

James Callas, a young Greek from Hoopeston, 111., was here Saturday looking for a business room in which to start an up-to-date candy store. Mr. Callas has been in business in Hoopeston for several years, has built up a nice trade there and run a fine place. A few days before his visit here a couple "of parties came along and wanted to buy him out. He set a price that he thought would send them along on their way, but they took ihim up and paid him his money. Therefore lie is now seeking a new location, and was much pleased with Rensselaer and hopes to locate here. Mr. Callas is spoken of as a good business man and a desirable citizen. He makes his own candy and ice cream, and should he locate here will put in fine up-to-date fixtures and run a neat and attractive place. He was looking at a business room here and will know some time this week whether he can secure It or not. He is an unmarried man, and is highly spoken of by people who know him.
