      News article, "West Union Herald," Thursday, Dec 11 1924, in its entirety:
      SELLS INTEREST IN MIDLAND ELECTRIC CO.
      B. E. Hamrick, who was one of the organizers of the Midland Electric Service Co., has sold his interest to J. L. McCormick and R. C. Gray and will be engaged in the automobile and gasoline business. He has just recently installed the Avondale Filling Station on his own property 2 miles east of West Union, and will handle the Oldsmobile Car for Carmichael Motor Co. of Clarksburg. We predict success for Mr. Hamrick, as he has been successful in every line of endeavor he had taken up.
