First we hear that the Geneva Recreation Association As-sociation has purchased the "property kitty corner from Organ's Or-gan's new Safeway store, and tthat the organization plans to ? construct a large cooperative 'store on the corner which every- ton may patronize. Members of the association, however, would be able to run charge accounts to be deducted from their pay !and would also receive patron-sage patron-sage dividends. The other fumor going around ; in connection with the same ; piece of property is that Mont-gomry Mont-gomry Ward hrs tak?n an option ion the property and that the I nation-wide chain retail organization organ-ization plans to build a store on it.
