The truck is to be used for the Grundy customers. It is a General Motors make and contains a refrigeration plant which will keep the ice cream and milk at the right temperature at all times. The interior is large enough to hold a great quantity of the company’s products. A small side door on the outside of the truck contains the refrigeration plant. In case the driver should become locked on the inside when a wind blows the door open, all that is necessary to release him is the pressing of a button and the door flies open again Joe Cregar bought the truck through last Thursday from Batavia, Illinois. (I believe this was a kinsman of Joseph Cregar, 1858-1941 who was the s/o Montgomery Cregar and his first wife, Susan Felty). ………. ARCHIE THOMPSON ILL W. ARCHIE THOMPSON, Thompson valley, is critically ill in Mattie Williams hospital at Richlands, following an operation for a brain affection. ………………… CHARLEY MONK IN HOSPTAL CHARLES C.
