Short, A.W. (Sells Store - 1945)

After more than twenty-five years in the mercantile business in this village (Humbird, Clark Co., Wis.), A. W. Short has disposed of his store stock and fixtures to Silas J. Knudsen of Alma Center, who took possession Tuesday.  Mr. Knudsen is proprietor of a large store in Alma Center, where he has a fine business in the general mercantile line, and will operate this store in like manner.

Mrs. J. W. Marohl will be in charge of the local store.

Mr. and Mrs. Short came here with their two daughters from Fairchild, where he was engaged in the same line of trade with the late W. F. Herbst, taking over the store from F. A. Shute.  Upon retirement, they will continue to make their home in Humbird, which is good news to a large circle of friends.  Mr. Short retains the insurance business and will devote more of his time to it hereafter.
