announcement:
To the people of Moscow and vicinity:
The Hagan & Cushing Company
announce their retirement from retail !
business. In order to devote all our |
energies to our rapidly growing
wholesale packing business, we have
decided that it is best for us and for
the people of the territory we are en-
deavoring to serve to discontinue our +
efforts in the retail meat and grocery
business. Acting upon this view we
have sold our retail grocery and meat
business, known as the Cold Storage
Market, to Mr.. 0. G. Johannesen.
Having conducted retail meat
business for more than a quarter of
q century, we feel that we cannot
retire from this business without
most sincerely assuring our many pa
IRONS of the sincere appreciation Of
heir patronage during this long peri
ID. And it is not on account of any
ack of business or any failure Of
confidence in US on the part of the
people of Moscow that has caused US
o give up the retail business. It is
because our wholesale business has ]
grown to such an extent and is con- ]
inuing so enlarge that it is neces- |
;ary for US to give up either the
Wholesale or retail end of the busi- i
less. It has seemed best that we t
lispose of the retail business and put |
ur energies in the wholesale trade. (
We urge upon the people of Mos
ow, who have shown so much conf /
ence in us, during the long period of G
ime we have been attempting to I
erve them, to show the same conf !
ence in our successor. Mr.. johann t
esen has lived in Moscow since boy v
ood. He attended school in Moscow, (
nd has since been connected with t
ur company except for period i
7hen he was in business in Montana. t
Ir. Johannesen knows the retail i
leat and grocery business, and will t
lake a great effort to satisfy the
eople of Moscow. No change will t
e made in the policy of the Cold n
forage Market.
The Hagan & Gushing Company d
as built up a wholesale business Of 0
size in Moscow. We ere n
Ding to give it more attention and v
1deavor to extend the business over +
wider territory and to enlarge the e
olume of its business. In building b
D our wholesale business we feel n
lat we are helping Moscow to be-
me bigger and better city. d
Sincerely. a
HAEAN & GUSHING COMPANY. n
