Negotiating a Business Deal

But it All Depends on a Bake-Shop

Two Ypsilanti Men

Contemplating Establishment a Candy Manufacturing Concern Here

If the deal goes through, there will be a great business change in the near future. Ed. Hangsterfer will consolidate his two stores, moving up on State street. George Gaudy and Elmer Brown, two enterprising business men from Ypsilanti, will move into the Hangsterfer store and engage in the manufacture of fine candies and ice-cream. The only thing that stands in the way of the immediate change being made is the fact that Hangsterfer wants the use of the bake shop which stands at the back of his State street store and Lamb & Spencer have a lease of this.

Now, if the owner of the Lamb & Spencer store will build a new bake shop for them within 30 days, they will throw up their lease and let Hangsterfer have it, and the city will gain two hustling business men.
