NEW & MILLER HARDWARE [Rochester, Indiana]
TWO BUSINESS CHANGES
There are two business changes in Rochester, one the selling out of E. B. Collins to Isom
R. New and Lee Miller, and the other, Ike Onstott, buying a half interest in the J. D. Holman stock
of shoes.
Invoicing will begin at the E. B. Collins store the latter part of the week, and the new
proprietors will take charge as soon as that is completed. Messrs New and Miller were formerly
associated in business, having conducted a large hardware store at Macy for several years. Mr.
Miller has had twelve years experience in the business and had recently been employed at the
Stoner & Black hardware store.
The J. D. Holman shoe store is at the present time being invoiced and upon the
completion of this work Mr. Onstott will become a partner. The new member of the firm needs no
introduction to Rochester people, he having been employed in different stores for the past eighteen
years. The Holman & Onstott stock will be enlarged and the Turner Sisters will move their
millinery store to the Baker room, two doors south of their present location, in order to make more
room for the shoe store.

PORTION OF FIESER BLOCK
A deal was closed Saturday evening whereby New & Miller, the well-known, local
harness making and implement dealers, became the owners of the two north rooms constituting the
north half of the Fieser block, at the corner of Main and Seventh streets.
The new owners will take possession at once and will use the two rooms for the display
of their harness stock at present. Later on the large stock of buggies and farm implements carried
by this firm will be moved from their present location across the street to their new store rooms.

NEW AND MILLER DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP; NEW RETIRES
After a partnership lasting 11 years, Isom New and Robert Lee Miller, of the firm of New
and Miller, dissolved business relations Friday afternoon, Mr. Miller buying his partner’s interest.
The store on Main street, which deals in buggies, harness and a large line of farm implements will
now be conducted under the name of R. L. Miller.
New and Miller first started business in Rochester 11 years ago, when they bought out
Edward Collins. Mr. Miller at that time moved from Macy where he had been in business. Mr.
New has no definite plans for the future.
