BOUGHT BY L. SCHMIDT. Yesterday afternoon a business! | change was made in the city the an- 1 nouncement of which will create no; ■ little surprise. Ed. M. Sloeonib, the veteran hard ware dealer, has sold his business to' 1- Schmidt, formerly engaged in the shoe business in this city. The deal was completed yester- ; day but Mr. Schmidt will not take! possession of the big stock of goods I until sometime in October. The price paid for the big stock was not made public, but there is no doubt that the ; tigure was a high one. Mr. Siocomb lias been engaged in the hardware business in Grand Junction for the past ten years. At j all times he has carried an immense; stock of hardware, stover and other goods found in a first-class hard- 1 ware establishment and has, during all these years enjoyed a splendid I patronage and the business today is a most desirable one. Mr. Schmidt has resided in Grand Junction for several years. He was; formerly one of the piopnetors or; the Boston shoe store, selling out ' his interest to his partner, A. 11. I Stoddart. Mr. Schmidt and his two sons, J. F. and A. M. Schmidt now own a l>ig shoe house in Boise City, | Idaho, the two sons having charge of the business. This business will 1 be disposed of and the two sons will. I'ome to Grand Junction and engage in the hardware business with their ' father. The style of the name of the new, firm will be L. Schmidt & Sons. ' Mr. Schmidt is a capable business: man, is well and favorably known and; willl doubtless keep the hardware house up to a higli standard. Mr. Siocomb has always been con sidered one of the city's most promi- , * nent business men and his man) ! friends trust that his retiremnt from 1 the active busine.-s circles will not be permanent. lie baa not fully decid ,ed on his plans for tlie future. He lias other large interests in the city and valley and will doubtless devote; most of his time to these. ' THE BICYCLISTS MEET AND PERFECT ORGANIZATION.
