That.
To Our Friends and Patrons:

To Our Friends and Patrons:
In announcing to you that we have
disposed of our controlling interest in
the retail shoe business, which we
have conducted for the past 25 years,
and leased our present retail store
room to a new corporation to be
known as the Mas Bode-Larson COM
pany, we feel hardly capable of ex-
pressing to all of you, In words, the
deep appreciation and tnankfulness
for the loyal and steady patronage
you have favored US with for quar-
ter of century, we have put forth
every possible effort, every ounce of
energy and force that we possessed
to give. Keolslk a good shoe store and
the remarkable growth of our bust
ness is ample evidence that our work
met your approval.
Years ago we began selling few
shoes at wholesale and every year
since this department has increased
its business SO rapidly that today
few people realize its proportion. The
management of both the wholesale
and retail business was more than we
could do and do 1t right and in JUS
tice to ourselves, to our patrons and
to the wholesale business and the
business from which we retire, after
25 years of continuous service, with
our business in splendid condition,
with store equal to any found In
the larger cities and patronage
equaled by few stores in cities twice
as large as Keokuk we felt 1t the best
time to retire from the active man,
agement. This will enable us to give
our attention exclusively to the whole
! sale department.
Our successors need no introduc.
| ton They are good shoe men, good
I business men, and are well fitted to
continue our business and by retain
ing our present force Of competent
help, together with the interest we
retain in the business will make the
Maas-Bode-Larson Co., a strong cor
poration which will appreciate your
trade and you can bank on it will
deliver the goods"
For all again we express our thanks

of Minnesota, now in Australia, and
Sam Robideau, the naval lightweight,
