SATURDAY WAS
A BUSY DAY

Last Saturday was by far the
best days business we have had
this year. The crowd began COM
ing at 7:30 a. m. and we had a full
house until $3.50 in the evening.
Even though we had extra help,
many of our customers waited long
before they were able to secure
the services of a clerk. A few gave
up in despair and waited upon
themselves, which helped mater
tally.
We wish to thank you all for the
splendid Saturday trade and extend
to you our appreciation of your be-
ing SO patient in waiting your turn.
The city delivery was taxed to
the limit, as each store had enough
deliveries to keep man and truck
busy. This did not bother Mr..
Smith. He hired helper, buckled
up his belt another hole and tied
into it. The consequence was, that
all deliveries were out in good time
and few, if any, mistakes were
made.
If you think Mr.. Gordon was
loafing Saturday, you will change
your mind when we tell you that
he answered the telephone and put
up and packed in boxes all the gro
Gerry orders we delivered that day.
