Another Business Change.

A deal was closed Tuesday by which Earl Duvall buys out tie Interest of his partner, George Lundy, in the clothing and gent’s furnishing stoie at the confer of Washington and Van Rensselaer streets. Tie stere w_s started by these two young men under the firm name of Duvall & Lunc’y on Feb. 15, 1906, a little more than three years ago and at once took a front rank among the hustling business bouses of this city. It has more than held its own in a business way, and is one of the best stocked clothing stores in this part of ndkna and one of the best Rensselaer ever had. The proprietors were both young men of energy and experience and they built up a fine business by the most exacting business methods. For some weeks a deal has been on by which Mr. Duvall would succeed to the sole ownership, and this was concluded Tuesday. Mr. Lundy left the same day for his home at Gosport, but will teturn here the last of this week fcr a short stay, during which time he will close up his personal affairs here. 'He will probably engage in the clothing business in the southern part of the state. Mr. Lundy’s many friends will regret that he will leave Rensselaer. Mr. Duvall will be assisted in the management of the store in the future by his brother, Carl, who will come from Indianapolis the last of the week and begin work here next Monday.
