TO OUR
Friends and Customers!

This Business is one of the Landmarks of Union
and Union County. For Twenty Years it has been
ambition to give friends and patrons
business above reproach a Grocery and Feed Mart
Second to None in South Carolina and Better Store
Service and More Genuine Appreciation for your
every transaction with us than you could command
anywhere else
That we have succeeded in some measure we feel
that you will agree. We believe we have sold more
goods served more people, and given better service
than any like concern anywhere in the State or
country, but what you never thought of, possibly,
is the fact that have made less money than any
concern doing like buiness giving anything
like the approximate service gladly give peo-
ple it costs money to run first class business it
costs money to maintain the best delivery service
ever given to any people anywhere, but when you
realize that have given you this and always sold
the best goods to be had for little and often for
less than the cheapest class of merchandise else
where, that we have never counted costs when your
interests were at stake, and that have used and
are still using, every resource at our command to
supply you with every necessity and many lux
ures as obtainabe, you will not only stand by
with loyal spirit of appreciation, patience and
sympathy in the present world crisis that is facing
us but you will cooperate with us and the Food Ad-
ministration to the fullest in conserving resources
of food, men and machinery perilousy needed
bv this country and it's Allies to win it's fight for
the freedom and hope of the world We must win
this war or everything worth having in this life
VIII perish from the earth. Do you really want to
help win the war? Then listen: Buy what you
need but don't hoard lay up unusual stores
Scores of the best people haven't pound of Sugar
and can't get it, some have year or more's supply
Don't waste but don't stint Don't growl and
don't crouch and find fault be cheerful and patient
and realize that where you have one disappointment
or inconvenience others have hundreds and are glad
to feel that by cheerfuly doing without, or waiting
patiently they doing service for their country
and the of humanity.
Every package that you take home with you, in
stead of having it delivered helps. Every time you
make order for delivery and add, "Send it the
first passing" you cut the cost Of delivery in half
Every time you order Oil, Vinegar or Molasses that
requires vessel for delivery, you double the cost
by not sending the vessel by not having ready
when the double service of sending for it and de-
liverng it again is rendered Mr. Hoover says that
any housekeeper who demands more than one de-
livery daily, any merchant who makes more than
delivery daily to a single customer is not loyal
to his country in its hour of need for economy.
Elsewhere are publishing the Resolutions
passed by the National Retail Grocers Association
sent by Mr. Hoover and want you to know
will spend last dollar last ounce Of
energy, man power, heart power and brain power
for customers, and our country, but we need to
get together, must eliminate waste, useless COSTS
for the time is not distant when gas, power,
horse power and other things we now waste will
bring about in the delivery business the same
dtions that exist in Sugar Salt and other neces
sites; they will be exhausted entirely.
Yours for Better Service and More Loyalty.
