Good Business Block Promised For Rolfe This Year
Rolfe businessman H. F. Peterson plans a two story building on his Cash Meat Market site. The lower floor will house a meat market and the upper floor will be residence for Peterson's family. He has closed a deal for the south half of the Hauck & Co. wall and seeks bids. He will sell the old building and arrange temporary quarters during construction. Building costs and material shortages slow other local projects. Homes are scarce as farmers retire and buy elsewhere.
