believe that those who care for the better class of tailoring appreciate my
keeping such an organization as it is for their benefit.
There are few towns the size of Bennington and few that are larger
that are as fortunate in having such skilled tailoring establishments a. the
Bemingtonians enjoy. Still some will criticize without any reason.
For twenty-five years have served the people of Bennington to
the best of my ability and appreciate what they have done for me during
the hard struggles and the better times. Bennington at all times has been
home to me. In another twenty-five years will have probably passed ON
from Bennington and the Green Mountain state and wish good luck to the
one who follows in my footsteps. hope that he will have an easier path
to travel as have tried to make it smoother by rolling down some of the
distractions.
