MIR. EDIToR:-Though but for few
weeks your correspondent, would like
upon leaving this column, the opportuni-
ty of expressing to my friends in New
Hope, my thanks for the uniform kind
ness and courtesy which ! received dur
ing my nearly three years business resi-
dence with them also, for the encourage
ment, not only in kind words, but in sub
stantial patronage, which they gave me,
thus enabling me TO build up store and
business of which they need not be
ashamed. And may I not, Mr.. Editor,
bespeak the same kind feelings and liberal
patronage for my successor, who is
young man thoroughly reliable and COM
petent, and whose best efforts will be
given to sustain, and even add to, the
reputation of the New Hope Drug Store
Could speak exclusively 10 the people
of New Hope, / would say to them just
what any of their merchants would say,
were it not for their modesty, that .sthe
best way to advance the interests of your
own town is, so far as possible, to pa
tronize your own home dealers But
fearing that other people might chance to
read this column, and judging from my
own expei fence that not many of the
good people of New Hope need this ad-
vice, shall preserve discreet silence.
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor, for this favor,
and wishing my New Hope friends all the
blessings a kind Providence may shower
upon them, ! remain, very truly yours
! and theirs, W. D. L. RoRBINs.
