rINO MY OLD FRIENDS AND AC-
QUAINTANCES

Having learned that some OF my
friends-and particularly some of those
/ hold in the very highest esteem-have
taken some imaginary exception to a
paragraph in my card Of January 81,
1895-viz., THAT having connected
myself with the Fourqurean-P Price Co.,
/ shall be able IN the future to offer
every inducement and better merit your
confidence than ever before" / wish to
say to them and to all patrons Of the late
firm of Levy & Davis that in using those
words l meant all they imply, but with
out thought of reflection, or injuring
to the very least extent the good pame
Of my former employers.
With my late friend, the senior part
her, j have passed the best part Of my
life 0wenty.eight years.. and better
man, a more honest, conscientious, up.
right, whole-souled man never lived.
II would seem that twenty-eight years
service with my old friend ought to be
sufficient proof OF my respect and high
appreciation of him, but it seems some
OF my friends have overlooked this fact,
and in Justice to them as we'll as myself
/ make this explanation.
Yours very truly,
JOSEPH E. FOLKES.
