Osceola residents and Chamber of Commerce discuss bringing a Brown-McDonald general merchandise store to the city. Proposed building at City square would cost about 45 000 with 20 000 to be raised by stock at 100 per share, stockholders to own the building and rental income to repay the loan. The effort seeks community backing to provide local shopping and prevent out-of-town sourcing.
