A large portion of the town of Risco has been purchased by Sikeston cotton growers Jack Davis and Tom Aller, John D. Hux, a Sikeston farm implement dealer, and James Butler of the Crump Cotton Company Memphis. The deal includes stores, a bank building, service stations, a cotton gin, grain elevators, a wholesale oil firm, a theatre and eight homes. The Algier estate previously owned the property, which was sold to Joseph Scales of Memphis a month earlier. The buyers will operate as a partnership for now and hope to form a corporation and attract a town bank.
