C. L.

C. L. Newton, of Louisville, Kentucky, is among the many businessmen attracted to this city, and he has found a nice location in the Eagle block, South Summit Street, where he has opened with a fresh stock of groceries. Geo. Vaughan, formerly salesman for Kroenert & Austin, and later with Hasie & Co., is interested in the business with Mr. Newton and the firm name will be Newton & Vaughan. The TRAVELER wishes them success.
Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, October 30, 1886. From Saturday’s Daily.
Geo. Vaughan has purchased an interest in the grocery store of C. L. Newton. The firm is to be Newton & Vaughan. They open up for business Monday or Tuesday of next week. Many of our readers are well acquainted with Mr. Vaughan, he having been engaged in Geo. E. Hasie & Co.’s grocery establishment for some time. Our readers will accord the new firm their share of the patronage in this vicinity. The REPUBLICAN wishes the gentlemen success.

Our city trade is extending in a southerly direction, and the new stores going up add to the business attractions of that section. We notice that the new grocery house of Newton & Vaughan is doing a nice business, fresh goods being received daily, and readily disposed of. These are both young men, but full of energy, and they are bound to succeed.
