CASH HARDWARE STORE - J. F. Weiss, Proprietor.

A successful hardware establishment must contain in its invoice, as nearly "everything in the world", as the multitudinous wants of modern civilzation requires, from the tiniest screw to a locomotive. It is not too much to say that mr. weis is "up in the business" and his business methods are acceptable to his many customer. There is no question in the matter of complete success, where, perhaps, others in this line of trade in Culver have not succeeded according to their highest expectations. Mr. Weiss has quite recently engagd in the hardware business in Culver, but he comes with the prestige of a log and successful business career elsewhere. - Maxinkuckee Park and Maxinkuckee Assembly Art Show, 1905

J. F. Weiss Disposes of Business to South Bend Parties

J. F. Weiss sold his stock of hardware to Goss and Replogle, of South Bend. Mr. Goss is a man of experience in the hardware business, while his partner, Mr. Replogle is an experienced contractor. This will make a good strong company, and push the hardware business to the limits. We have known Mr. Goss from boyhood and know him to be a man of character and business ability. His partner comes highly recomended.

We have no learned as yet just what are Mr. Weiss plans for the future. We hope he will continue his residence here. He and his family have made many friends who would be sorry to see them leave the town. Mr. Weiss is a business man of more than ordinary ability and we trust that he can find soon other line in which he may engage, suitable to his taste and profitable in its return.
