We are grati6ed at our wonderful
success so far this season, but we are

past success. Our intention is to make
The Lyon Buggy Co., Campbellsville,
not only the largest dealers and best
medium to supply the trade in Central
Kentucky with buggies, saddlery and
harness, now an undisputed fact. But
we are determined to press forward,
being ever on the look out for improve
ments- styles and lower prices
that will eventually make us the lead
ing and largest business of the kind
in the State. We certainly feel very
grateful to our many friends in old
Adair, the home of our childhood, for
the very liberal share of patronage
they have given us, and we will at all
times endeavor to give such values and
fair treatment if you will continue to
help us. Send your friends with the
assurance that we will at all times
endeavor to give more goods and bet
ter values for same money and same
goods and same values for less money
than any other dealers in the country.
Yours to please,
