TO THE PUBLIC;


We sincerely extend our thanks for the
very generous appreciation of our 2Ist ami
versary sale during the past week. Its sue
cess far exceeded our most sangulne expecta-
tons.
This fully demonstrates to our satisfac-
ton that "There is Something in Name and
Furthermore, that our motto of doing as we ad.
vertise, has its reward in the public confidence.
We will in the future, as in the past,
strive to keep up the standard of quality in all
goods sold by US, and the prices put on the
same are endorsed by u.s. If anything is
wrong we are here to right it.
Should there be any persons who were
in the store during the sale who possibly did
not get the attention deserved, we hope they
will pardon the same this time, as it was i'm
possible to give the time and attention during
the rush that is always gladly given here.
Again repeating our thanks for the con.
fldence and patronage of all, we would simply
add that it will be good policy to watch our
ads for real values in all goods sold by us.
Very respectfully.
