How The New Store Is Like The Old.
Sam, Joe & Bill And The Old Motto -'PPIease The
Customers First

The "New Wreck Store'' is just a
bigger and better "Old Wreck Store"
You'll understand just what we
mean by this statement when you
come to see Jas and find Sam, Joe
and Bill waiting to tell you "Hello''
and to show you all around the new
store, make you feel at home, and
tell you just where to find anything
you may be in need of, no matter if
its spool of thread or a suit of
clothes you are wanting. If you've
ever been to see US, even one time,
in the Old Wreck Store you'll know
that you can't be q stranger with
Sam, Joe and Bill around to talk
oyer things with you, and shew you
about. And, by the way, all of the
folks who waited on you at the Old
Wreck Store are with us at the new
Stand, and just as anxious to take
pains in showing you the goods you
want to see, and please you as ever.
And the new people we had to hire
to be able to serve everybody. with
out any tIresome waiting, have been
told with the same as the old sales
men and women that 'sto please the
customers is the HIGHEST AIM we
seek, as well as to always give
MORE FOR a DOLLAR THAN A
DOLLAR WILL BUY ELSEWHERE
II you who read this, haven't yet
been to see THE WRECK STORE,

carpenters started to hanmering and

ford to do things any way exceyt the
very best for our customers, so we
just passed the word along to the
"Big Gun'' among the men who put
up the big store Ito 60 TO TT and
make the New. Wreck Store a e+-.
that would make anybody glad t.. =
