This can be added to the Swendsen's bio, if you like...

About this time a newspaper article (presumably "The Hinckley News") said:
     "Radio Shop Moving Into Schaefer Bldg"

     "Mr. Elmer Barton and Mr. Nels Swendsen, who have been engaged in the 
radio and electrical business in the Folsom Building on the north side of 
Main Street for the past year, have rented the Schaefer Building, formerly 
Wendt's Cafe, on the south side of the street, and are moving over this 
week.  Increase in their business is given as the main reason for the move 
by the proprietors and the fact that in the new place they will have 
considerably more room.  Mr. Swendsen is now the district manger for the 
Maytag Washing Machine Company and is planning on storing a large number of 
Maytag machines in the new place, as well as having a large shop for his 
radio line.
     Mr. E. Barton is an expert plumber and electrician and plans to display 
a fine line of these fixtures in the new location.  Sign painters were busy 
on Tuesday putting new signs on the windows of the Schaefer Building with 
radio sales and service on one side and plumbing and electrical shop on the 
other.  The boys also plan to erect a tie rack in the rear of their store 
for an accomodation to the farmers. "
