Sours' Dairy Store Must Move
[Dorothy English Sours (SRGP 82568)]
The First National Bank finds it necessary to expand their bookkeeping facilities. Therefore, on May 31, the Sour's Dairy Store of Mansfield must move. Mr. Sours reports that they are now looking for a suitable location and hope to be able to continue their long period of service to Mansfield.
