Harry
A. Beurhaus and Gustav E. Gloger
have purchased the general merchandise stock of William A. Beurhaus
at 200 Main Street, and have already taken charge of the business. This is one of the best stands in the city,
and Mr. Beurhaus has always enjoyed an excellent
trade there. His successors are two of
Watertown's best-known young businessmen, and their well known honorable manner
of dealing with the trading public bespeaks for them success in their
business. Just now they are offering
great bargains to reduce their present stock, and in a short time they will
have a large stock of all the latest in fall goods. Success to the new firm.

02 19 William A. Beurhaus very hospitably
entertained the directors and officers of the Merchants
National Bank and representatives of the Wisconsin National Bank and Bank of Watertown last Monday evening at his
home in honor of his birthday anniversary.
A pleasing feature of the evening's entertainment was the surprise given
the gentlemen present when at about 10 o'clock their wives entered in a body to
join in the festivities. Mrs. Beurhaus had arranged this feature of Mr. Beurhaus' anniversary celebration unknown to him. All present had a thorough good time, Mr. Bearhaus and his amiable wife proving most excellent
entertainers. It was Mr. Beurhaus' 60th birthday anniversary. WG
