Business Change. 
An important business change of 
the past week was the sale of the 
shoe business, in Manchester, of 
Charles Hooper to Walter R. Bell. 
This business was started by Mr. 
Hooper thirty-one years ago. For a 
big portion of that time he has con- 
ducted it in the Rabardy block, 
Central square. Failing health the 
past few years has taken Mr. Hooper 
from the business and his continued 
poor health and serious illness of 
late moved him in selling. Mr. Bell 
closed the deal for the purchase last 
Saturday and took possession imme- 
diately. The many friends of Mr. 
Hooper regret to learn of his con- 
tinued illness and of seeing him re- 
tire from the business with which 
he has been identified for more than 
a generation. He is a man of sound 
business principles and square deal- 
ings, as is shown by the fact he has 
families in his trade that started 
with him over thirty years ago. Mr. 
Bell intends to continue the business, 
according to the present plan, in ad- 
dition to his present business on 
Beach street. He will restock the 
store and will conduct it in its pres- 
ent location.
