It is with sincere regret that the Pilot announces the determination of Will A. Mossier to retire from the emanagement of the Model store. His health is failing rapidly and he desires to close up his business connection here and remove to Richmond, Va., by the fiist. of January. In consequence of this, it has been decided to make a closing out sale of all the big stock of merchandise in the big double store, and at prices that cannot be duplicated in Indiana or Chicago. The stores will be closed and the business suspended by the first of January. A large advertisruent, and price list will appear in the Pilot next week.
