When Tad and LuAnn Hoefs of Staples purchased Iten and Heid Hardware from Hans Iten last April, they had lots of new ideas for the store. They were not sure how to prioritize their various projects. The back walls that used to separate the show floor from the workshop area have been removed. Tad set up a bike repair shop in one of the back corners, and the other will be used for cutting glass. Eventually Tad and LuAnn would like to discontinue their line of furniture and replace it with a line of rental equipment.

With Christmas decorations on the main street of the village being put up yesterday, Browerville began taking on a festive appearance, with the best decorations we have had in many years. Some of the store windows have already been decorated in anticipation of the Christmas season. As in the past, the Commercial Club and Village Council have provided the decorations for the streets with the village cooperating with putting them in place.

The local OTW ball club, champions for 1949, have received a very fine trophy and attention is called to local folks, that it can be seen in the south front window at the Iten & Heid store for the next week. Present plans are to place the trophy in the new trophy case in the new high school auditorium. The baseball boys can be proud of such a fine trophy.
