W. F. Cooper


In our expansion many businesses have broken over the ordinary environments intended.  
Among these is the Feed Store of Mr. W. F. Cooper.  After selling his interest in the 
hardware store he began giving his entire attention to the feed business.  this has 
necessitated an enlargement in accommodation and volume of business.  A large 
warehouse has been erected in rear of his large store, 55 x 100 feet, and all his purchases 
are by the car-load, and with this capacity now his business constitutes a distance benefit 
to our town and surrounding community.  Besides the very best service in feed he has 
yielded to the demand to purchase in large lots some of the heavier groceries, such as 
flour, meal, etc.  Mr. Cooper is a man of large means and can take advantage of every 
point in the trade.  He is strictly business and seems to move entirely on business principles.  
We bid him success.
