TO OUR CUSTOMERS
AS you are all we'll aware that all
business houses in the country are in
great measure being ruled by the
Government, and that we are Obliged
to make vast changes in our plans,
we are going to ask our customers to
aid us in the completing OF new plans,
Since the Food Administration Is
making our prices, we are forced to
adopt different methods in dealing
with wholesale markets and handle
our goods for very small margin.
On and after Feb LIST, we shall be OBJ
! liged to ask our customers to be pre-
pared to pay cash for all feed and
grain as we can not possibly afford
to do any credit business after that
date. We also ask that all old ac-
counts be settled in full not later
than Feb. Is.
We wish to thank all old customers
for their past patronage and trust
that they may understand that new
plans are adopted as case of neces-
sity. Trusting we may serve old
as we'll as new customers in the fu-
ture, we are yours for business,
