A Word
of
Thanks
We take this method of thanking our many friends and custom
ers for their patronage this year, which has been the biggest in
our mercantile business. Owing to our good quality of
goods and low prices we have added many new customers to our
/
list this year. We expect 1926 to be even a bigger and better
year in our business, as our aim always is to give to the public
the very best goods and servioe at the lowest possible prices.
NOTICE!
The coming year of 1926 we will sell all goods to all people
for strictly CASH. We will have no books. We will make no
tickets. We have not the capital to do a oredit business. All
the customers, all the friends we have lost in business was be
cause of oredit. So pay cash and save the difference.
