Carter Grain Company Moves.

In order to increase their facilities for handling their ever-increasing wholesale and retail grain business, the Carter Grain Company has moved from their old quarters on Seventh Street into the P. E. Parker warehouse east of the Santa Fe track on Seventh Street.

Carter Grain Company has purchased the big warehouse, and their office, retail and wholesale business will be, as in the past, combined. They extend thanks to their customers of the past and ask a continuation of their orders for all kinds of feed stuff, which the company is in better position to fill than ever, owing to greatly increased floor space.
