THANKYOU

Thank you one and all for the very liberal patronage you have given us in the year just closed. It was kind of you as we had just come among you in the merchantile line a little less than a year ago.

We have tried to please you, tried to treat you square. The New Year opens with broader pos­sibilities for us to serve you. We shall in quite a short while occupy the two stores vacated by Holmes-Warren Co. when we shall open an ela­borate stock of general merchandise for the trade. We also retain our present store which will be stocked with farm implements, heavy groceries, and stock feed. Our opportunities will be so much enlarged and improved for pleasing you, quite equal to the demand we are sure.

Our best wishes for a prosperous New Year We are yours to serve
