Greeting.


Ambitious? OF course we are. lis the
lot Of man, ard we deem energy and ambition
well directed, merit, else there would be no
progress: else the boosted nineteenth century
in which we live, would never have been as II
is-the grandest time in the history Of the
world.
In financial point Of view we are all am
bilious; and it is but natural that we should
he so. since .'by the sweat Of our brow we
must earn our living, and the older we grow
the harder it is to earn the comforts that we
need. We should all, as far as possible, lay
by something for a rainy day. How to do this
is the great question Of the day and hour; it
frage, or the granger movement, or the third
term, because it is question that appeals d.
rectly to each and every one Of us personally.
The answer to this question does not depend
on how much or how little you earn. how
great or small your income; IL depends en-
tirely on how much or little you spend. II
you earn but two dollars and spend but one.
you are in fair way to succeed. II is the
out-go and not the income that determines
our success in saving.
In the matter OF out-go, We all find It neces-
sary to buy such goods We need, flor We are
truly needy worlD and the important ques-
ton then comes in. schers to buy. Now our adj
vice is not wholly disintercsted. We are in
business TO make money, and we wish to sell
our goods and advise you to come and see us
and examine our stock before purchasing.
We think, however, that while our advice
appears not to be wholly disinterested, that j,
is valuable for the following reasons, viz: We
are determined to make and keep reputation
for selling "rHE BEST GOODS FOR THE LEAST
MONEY"
We win guarantee HONEST WEIGHTS AND
MEASURES.
We will promise polite andeareiul attention.
Our prices wilt be as low Is the same quail
ty OF goods can be bought anywhere.
We respectfully solicit your patronage.
Come and get acquainted with us, II you
have not already done 50. We shall endeayor
10 give you satisfaction and value received.
Yours, fer trade,
1918 W. A. THOMAS 4 Co.
