UNDERWOOD STORE SOLD

     George and Ted Balsiger announce the sale of their Underwood Mercantile store to Al & Nadine Chisholm who have lived in this area for a number of years.
     The Chisholms have been “getting acquainted” with the store for a couple of weeks and will take over next Monday, June 22.
     The Balsigers, father and son, have owned and operated the store for 20 years.  They will remain here for the rest of the month attending to final business matters and collections.
     Although George is leaving Underwood, he is optimistic about its future.  When the Skamania County PUD installed the water system, there were only 25 users.  Now there are 50 plus additional applications.  During the past month, 11 homesites and tracts were sold on Underwood Heights.
     The Chisholms plan to move soon from White Salmon to the apartment above the store.  He is an electrician for SDS Lumber Co.  They have two children: Sandra, 14, and Dennis, 18.  Dennis just graduated from Columbia High School and will help in the store.
