Just One
 Year
 Ago

To-day since we opened up this popular dry goods store.
 We are glad to say that our busi- ness has grown daily. The sales have gone up day by day, week by week and month by month.
 We hope to make our second year more successful than the first.
 With money any one can rent store, put up signs, blow trdmpets, but it takes more than money to do the kind of store keeping that is truly servicable to community. A store must have the possession of princi- pie, artistic taste, with an organiza- tion eeping-at-the-thing eyerlast- ingly, to have it right, because nothing less than right will do.
 Expectation can not be set to high for service at this store. The more people expect the better 1t will please us and the greater our efforts.
 Mere cheapness will not be the goal arrived at, because cheapness often times robs the buyers-by cut ting price-out of the quality.
 Store keeping here is to make connecting roads between the pro- ducers and consumers and dis tributing only guaranteed goods at the VERY SMALLEST MARGIN of profit.
 There will be no mysteries, no evasions, no nonsense, but simple, straightforward business, doing the proper thing at the proper time.
 Mark we'll that when we adver- tise articles, prices, etc, we under estimate rather than exagerate, be- cause we know that people can be fooled part of the time but not always.
 What we want is your confidence as anxiously as your trade, because if we get the former nothing will be wanting on our part 10 retain it.
