We're right proud of this birthday, because this one brings us to the Third-of-a-Century mark. A third of a century ! Think of it. Children unborn when we started in business, back in 1922, have been born, grown up, mar ried, and now have children of their own. But proud as we are of our AGE, we're protider still of some Other Things. Most of all, we take pride in our RECORD. It isn't every concern that stays in business a third of a century, and when one does, there s a reason. In our case, we think there are two. First, we've tried to SERVE the people of Franklin and Macon County, and of this whole region. It has been our con viction, from the first, that "what's good for our customers is good for us". ~ And so ? and this is the second reason ? our Customers have become our Friends. And of course it is their patronage that has made it possible for us to grow and enlarge our service to the people of the area. As we mark a third of a century in business, therefore, we are proudest of all that we have so many and such loyal Business Friends. To every single customer, over these 34 years, whether he bought a dime's worth of nails or the materials for a home, we are deeply grateful. * Franklin Hardware Company Always Parking on The Square Phone 117 Franklin, N.
