imagine that there were something like

anaker has said that newspaper adver-
Using is the basis of his success MIR.
IeWith says the same thing and further
more that the News and Observer IS
his greatest mouthp.ece, especially when
he wants to talk to the PEOPLE of three

constantly increased.
Ills work has been constant in one
purpose to establish business which

excellence the honesty aud faith of its
merits For what measure Of success
he has attained, he thanks you, friends
for the share you have taken. for the
words OF appreciation YOU have spoken,
