DEAR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS
We are fast approaching the close
of another year and in order to show
our appreciation of the many favors
you have shown us. we have decided
to again present You with Calendar,
but this one will far excel those of
previous years. On account of their
cost, we had only limited quantity
made and in order that each of our
customers shall get one. we must be
very careful as to their distribution.
We positively will not give any to
children, neither will we give you one
for your neighbor, so you will please
call for one only. They will however
not be ready for distribution until
next week. We know they will go
fast, and for that reason let you know
in time SO that all may have an equal
chance Christmas is at hand and
we are prepared to show you a fine
line of Hardware, Stoves, Furniture
and Crockery. The Furniture and
Crockery business is new with us
consequently our goods are all new
and the latest styles. Our prices we
assure you are rock bottom. We ap-
preciate your trade, and desire to
hold it. Thanking you once more,
we remain, Yours Truly,
The ERNST WAGNER Co.
