With pleasure we give place to the following from a correspondent in the Courier published at East Saginaw, Michigan, in relation to the parties who lately purchased the lumber yard and shop, known as the Shelby Manufacturing Company: "I learn that Ferdinand, Charles and Frank Brucker have recently purchased a lumber yard and planing mill at Shelby, Ohio. Our genial friend Charley leaves to day to take charge of the business at Shelby, while Ferdinand and Frank attend to manufacturing lumber and shingles at their mills in Saginaw and Midland counties to supply the yard. Your correspondent congratulates the good people of Shelby on their good fortune in getting so reliable a firm among them. The firm is to be known under the firm name of Ferdinand Brucker & Sons. As they manufacture lumber and shingles, they will be able to sell at such prices as to defy competition. Their shingles have an excellent reputation all over the country, and especially in Ohio, where they have been extensively sold. Success to the firm."
