MURPHY BUYS RAMP GROCERY

Inability To Procure Business Room Compells Latter To Retire. Inability of John Ramp to secure another business room for the Home Grocery—the room he has occupied for several years having been sold with the rest of the building recently to A. F. Long—compelled him to retire from- this line qf business, although he will be employed by Charles L. Murphy, proprietor of the Economy grocery, who has purchased his stock. The deal was closed up last week and Saturday was Mr. Ramp’s last day’s business* John has been In the grocery business in Rensselaer for 10 or 12 years and has enjoyed a good patronage all of this time. He is thoroughly versed in this line of trade and should prove a valuable assistant to Mr. Murphy. The Economy grocery has done a good business right along and no doubt many of Mr. Ramp’s customers will follow him to this store,- where he will now be employed.
