The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-12-11

AS we were all bnsy at our desks last
night two OF our leading citizsns dropped
in and offered their congratulations and
best wishes for our success in glowing and
eloquent terms. Such acts of kindness cost
nothing, but they cheer the weary workers
and gives them strength and pleasure for
renewed exertion. We consider our mis-
sion i'll Savannah one of Importance.
While primarily we are working for
money, it is our desire to offer to
our citizens CT wealth and refinement
goods Of artistic merit. such as they cannot
usually find outside of the largest cities.
The result of yesterdays business proves to
us that our efforts are duly appreciated.
Our store was thronged all day with the
culture and refinement of the city, who
were loud in their praises OF our selections
in pictures, piano lamps, music stands,
pianos and organs. New goods arriving by
every steamer. Our show wildows are the
most artistic ever ext ioited in Savannah.
You are cordially invited to call on us
Respectfully, DAVIS BROS.
