HARTINGTON - John Krause, pioneer Hartington merchant, sold his interest in the Globe Clothing Co. here this week to D. E. Ewing and Henry Happe, longtime active members of the firm.
Mr. Krause was one of the seven Hartington business men who organized the clothing company which was incorporated in 1889, just ten years after the town of Hartington was founded.
Mr. Krause had previously founded and was operating one of the first general merchandise stores and helped organize the clothing company in order that folks could find here merchandise to fill their every need. Altho one of the large stockholders and its vice president almost from the beginning, Mr. Krause was never active in the management of the clothing business, devoting his effort to the general merchandise business and to his numerous other interests. He has resided in California for over 25 years.
A successor to Mr. Krause as vice president has not yet been elected by stockholders in the company.
