Our HEARTFELT Thanks.

We have been in Kirksville one
year, one month and fifteen days
and we have this to say to the
people of Adair county and city of
Kirksyille: We feel truly CRATE
full for the liberal patronage you
have given US in the length of time
and as we enter upon another
years business in your midst we
have no uncoilected accounts to
place before you for payment and
during our business experience
OF the last year we placed on our
goods what we believed to be a
fair, legitimate profit and have
treated all alike as far as we now
know and have made no enemies
we know of and we hope many
friends. Our expectations upon
our opening business in your
county and city has been far sur
passed having done a larger vol
ume of cash business than we were
told WAS possible to be done for
cash in your midst.
Many persons have traded with
us from our first opening until the
present time and many others
have expressed themselves to us
that after the first of the year
when they have paid their last
years grocery bill our way OF do
ing business would be theirs and
they would be customers of ours
henceforth and as long as We ad-
hered strictly to our motto CASH
IN HAND PLAN.
We have customers who would
not buy one dollars worth of goods
from us if they thought we were
making fish OF one and flesh of
another.
Now again thanking you for so
literally patronizing US the last
year we can only promise you to
do as we believe is our duty tow
ards you the coming year, and that
Is to pay the HIGHEST PRICE IN
CASH for all country produce and
sell our groceries, provisions, glass
and queensware at the lowest
possible price, affording US a rea-
sonable margin for doing same.
Wishing you happy and pros
porous year in Eighteen Hundred
and Ninety One, we remain truly
your servants,
For Cash only,
SIGLER BRoTHERs.
