The Tintic Mercantile Company, this districts oldest business establishment, was sold early in the week, passing out of the hands of the McChrystal Investment Co. Abe Wolfe who was in the mercantile business in Eureka several years ago and who has since operated a large store at Salt Lake, was the purchaser of the. entire stock of goods which will probably invoice in excess of $35,000. Dr. A. H. McChrystal, who was in Salt Lake for several days and assisted in arranging the details of the sale, on his return to Eureka verified the report of the transfer of the store although he did not give out the price. The building and other real estate of the company was not included in the sale. Mr. Wolfe arrived in Eureka on Tuesday, accompanied by an ac- - County contest coming soon The 1984 Juab County Fair is scheduled Aug. 23 through Aug. 25, and this years Miss Juab County is being sought.

After spending a day or two in the store, Mr. Wolfe said he was pleasantly surprised to find such a large amount of modern and saleable merchandise. The policy of the store seems to have been to buy only high class goods, he said, and if prices are cut, as we intend to cut them, I feel certain that in this locality and surrounding towns we can find a market for most of this large stock. It will pay Tintic people and others to wait for our announcement. The Tintic Mercantile Company, the control of which has for many years been held by the McChrystal Investment Company of Salt Lake, was established in 1884 at which time the McChrystals owned a number of the local mines and had heavy interests in other properties. The store was first started as a partnership business owned by McChrystal and Cusick and with the formers son, John H. McChrystal, as its manager and W. R. Wallace, Salt Lake capitalist, as bookkeeper. Next it was known as McChrystal & Co., the Cusick interests having been purchased by the McChrystals and the next change in name was to John McChrystal. Later a corporation .was formed for the purpose of conducting the mercantile business. The incorporation took place in 1893. When originally opened the store was located some distance to the west of its present location, Eurekas very limited business district at that time being in close proximity to the camps two oldest -- d. new volunteers, losing our full time ambulance coverage.
