LAUREL- A business transaction of more than passing interest was closed last week whereby Peter Christensen and Jens Jensen purchased the Laurel Locker system from the Laurel Creamery and are now operating the business. These gentlemen are too well known to need any introduction and we know they will make a fine success of the business because they have the necessary help with which to conduct the business. Mr. Jones, of the Laurel Creamery, tells us that the only reason for disposing of the locker system was the fact that adequate help could not be secured to run that end of their business. By selling the lockers, the Creamery will be better able to give the kind of service they have long wanted to give to their produce and butter customers.
