ANTRIM & DEAN.

Apace with the rapid development of Rensselaer the above new firm has been formed to conduct an exclusively hardware store. The members of the firm are James F. Antrim and Charles J. Dean, both natives Jasper county boys in the prime of life, and honorably known to a wide community. They have the reputation of a successful business career to sustain them in this venture, and have adopted as a safe rule of trade to buy strictly for cash and give credit to none. Hoping by this means to be able to give lower prices than has ever been obtainable before in Jasper county. They propose to carry a full line of heavy and shelf hardware, tinware, builders’ supplies, etc. A competent tinner will be employed and building contracts undertaken. Their location is the commodious east room of the new Odd Fellows’ temple.
