We desire tie express our appreciation Of the
liberal patronage bestowed upon us during the
last two years by a generous public. Our busl-
ness firm being made up principally of strang-
ers, from q distance, we had no reason
to expect the patronage of the community OF
eur adoption, except SO far as It was founded
upon determination to make our work compare
favorably in price and quality, with that Of first
class city shops, and conviction that, by so do
ing, we would merit and obtain large share of
that class of work, which has not heretofore been
undertaken in this section, but which had to be
brought from the cities The result has proved
the rea.onableness Of our expectations, and en-
souraees us to press forward with renewed ener-
gy and with ever increasing and charging IA
silties
We invite an inspection of our shops by those
ssntemp plating the purchase or machinery
We endeavor to make all our purchases for
cash, and having limited amount of capital, we
are consequently compelled to require cash or
negotiable note, at short time for all work.
For the quality of work, we take the lib
erty of referring to the following gentlemen,
among the many from whom we have received
orders.
