[This clip shows the early partnership formation Earl Lewis made concerning his store ownership.] "By August 1915, David Vredenburg acquired the Lingren store in Moorhead, Iowa, and, in September, held a closing-out sale on his Lamoni farm. David, Kate and their two sons relocated to Moorhead to run the store. Sometime between September 1915 and May 1918, David entered into partnership with EARL LEWIS to form VREDENBURG & LEWIS. September 1918 saw Vredenburg acquiring the J.G. Knight store in Woodbine, which became a Vredenburgh & Lewis operation. The Vredenburg family moved to Woodbine, Iowa, living there until May 1923 when the family, now including a daughter, moved back to Lamoni. Vredenburgh & Lewis operated stores in the Iowa towns of Logan, Magnolia, Lamoni, Mondamin, Irwin and Dunlap and in the Missouri town of Hatfield. "The stores of Vredenburgh & Lewis may have been owned by the General Supply Company, a Lamoni-based operation allied to the RLDS church."
