OMAR GAGE BUYS HARRY ZUTAVERN INTEREST IN GAGE LUMBER
COMPANY Thursday, October 8, 1940 Newspaper Unknown |
|
A transaction which we were aware several weeks ago, but did not publish until papers were closed, was that of Harry Zutavern selling his half interest in the Gage Lumber Company to Omar L. Gage. This transaction brings Mr. Gage’s only son George in with his father and will give him valuable experience in this capacity. Mr. Zutavern has been connected with the Gage Lumber Company many years and the two partners has enjoyed a good business patronage for many miles distant. As yet we have not learned definitely the plans on Mr. and Mrs. Zutavern, but understand they are considering locating in the west, perhaps California, where their only son Harry Zutavern and wife reside. The following clipping from our neighbor paper, The News at Brewster, appeared recently.
Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Gage were over from Dunning on business last
Friday and while in town paid the shop a friendly visit.
We learned that the Gage Lumber Company has undergone a recent
change in management in that Harry Zutavern has sold his interest in the
organization and Mr. Gage’s son, George is going in with his father in
the lumber business. Mr.
Zutavern expects to devote more of his time to ranching activities.
Incilentally(sic) this is the third generation of the Gage family
to have an active part in the operation of the poneer(sic)
yard of Blaine County. J. D. Gage was the founder of the company
many years ago. Later his
son, Omar went in with him and has been actively engaged in the business
at times since. Now
conts(sic) his son George as the third generation that family to choose
that line of work. The Gage
Lumber Company has enjoyed, and deservedly so, a large volume of
business through the years and we do not hesitate to predict more of the
same in the years to come. |

This was the program for the "Grand
Concert" at the Jones Opera House, March 21, 1917 by the Dunning
Band. I don't know where the Jones Opera House is -- perhaps
Dunning, Anselmo, Merna, or Broken Bow (I know that Broken Bow had an
opera house). I did several web searches, but can't find it.
