The Daily Independent Newspaper, Murphysboro, IL October 16, 1923

    Cleland's Hub Clothing and Shoe store, 1012 Walnut street, came to the
ownership of H. W. CLELAND August 24th, 1922, when Mr. Cleland having made a
study of the business in a clerical capacity for B. C. SMALL for three and one
half years, acquired the spendid business from him.

    David CLELAND, father of H. W., himself and ex-merchant of Ava of the
general merchandise firm of GWIN & CLELAND, and 22 years in the service of the
DEAN Milling Co. of Ava, came into the local furnishings firm the first of this
year.  With two such men centered on continuing the good business patronage at
the splendid location, only success can be the answer.

    In addition to gents' furnishings, the firm is carrying a complete line of
shoes for everyone.  Up front the firm's policy is to maintain very attractive
show windows, and behind the windows the policy is to give customers quality
goods and the right consideration.

    The junior firm member had some experience in the retail line with his
father at Ava.  His earlier mercantile career, however, was cut short when he
went into World War service.  Returning he located in Murphysboro.  David
CLELAND and family removed to this city two years ago.

    The elder Cleland has been a citizen of Jackson county for fifty years.
