Builder's Supply changes owners
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Carpenter announce the sale of the Coulee City Builder's Supply to Mr. and mrs. Dale Wile, formerly of Michigan. The Wiles will assume operation of the business August 6, although the Carpenters will remain here through August 20 to help the new owners during the change. The carpenters purchased the business in June 1969 from Tony Tabert.
When asked about their future plans, Mrs. Carpenter said they were a little undecided. At present Mr. Carpenter is contracting a home in Electric City and the family will probably live there until the house is completed. After that they may move to Ephrata. Mr. Carpenter plans on remaining in construction. During their years here the Carpenter family has been a valuable asset to the community and all their friends and neighbors wish them well where ever they go.
The Wiles are due in Coulee City the end of the week. They have two daughters, an eight grader and a sophomore.
The Wiles are the grandparents of Conor Jorgensen. They sold the business to the Schneiders in November of 1978.
