Chief Tullar Sells Livery Business
His Stock of Horses and Rigs Sold to Charles Smith of Iowa Falls
A deal was completed last night by which Charles Smith of Iowa Falls becomes the sole owner of the livery barn of Chief of Police Tullar on First avenue south.
Mr. Smith is an old and experienced liveryman. He has been in the city for some time looking for a location and takes possession of the Tullar stables at once. Mr. Tullar states that he has found his duties as chief of police to great for him to give proper care to his business so decided to sell.
The entire stock of vehicles and horses except those kept by Mr. Tullar for his personal use were involved in the transaction. the consideration for the stock was $15,000.
(Editor’s note: The amount of $15,000 in 1905 would be equivalent to about $359242 today.)
