Three Men Bought Implement Firm

A business deal was made last week whereby three men formed a partnership and purchased the Knudsen Implement Company, from L.F. "Tom" Knudsen, who has been International Harvester dealer in Manning since 1945. The building which housed the business was purchased by Manning Creamery and will be used by the firm soon as auxiliary quarters.
Those buying the business wore Johannes "Hannes" Bunz, Arthur Gruhn, and Amos Kusel. Equipment, parts, appliances and machinery were moved to the Bunz property over the weekend. The firm will be known as Bunz Implement Company in the future.
Mr. Knudsen is currently recovering from a second heart attack and remains a patient in Manning Hospital. Look for the announcement of the business change in today's Monitor.
