Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 January 1909 — Preparing to Retire From Business. [ARTICLE]

Preparing to Retire From Business.

B. Forsythe, proprietor of the Chicago Bargain Store and for many years one of the leading merchants in Rensselaer, is making preparations for a sale and large advertisements will appear in the Rensselaer papeis within the next few days. It is the first preparation toward his retirement from business. While it will probably take some months to effect a closing out of the business. It is the intention of himself and wif a , who has been associated with him in business ever since their marriage twenty years ago, to dispose of the stock as soon as possible and to rent their fine business room and take a long rest. It is not probable that in doing this they will leave the United States, but they expect to visit other states and see some of the country. They have paid the closest attention to business and have prospered since coming to Rensselaer. But they both feel exhausted and the necessity for a rest has caused them to decide to retire from business.
