A MESSAGE! KIND FRIENDS: In this, our message, for your con sideration, we would call your atten tion to a few things that will be of benefit to you and helpful to us. We have turned theleaf from 1901 and are now upon the page of 1902. What the present year has in store for us, we can only surmise—we can only hope and wait for results. The year just ended was very satis factory to us in a business way—made many friends and customers, and some money, for all of which we are grate ful. We expect to put forth greater efforts the present year, carry a much larger stock, sell more goods to more people, and endeavor to make a custo mer of all who will favor us with a call. We do not propose to sell at cost—no reasonable person could ex pect this—every article of commerce has its value, and we are entitled to a egiltimate profit on our goods, We give maximum values for minimum expenditures. “Honest values for honest dollars, small profits and let them go,” is the insigna impressed upon the minds of our salespeople.

But if you get stuck on tln* bottom, whet your appetite and cheer up like tin* dying man who said he wouldn’t be lonesome for lie had friends in both places. A fellow who has been at the top once and will get there again, says he has lost everything in the world—but his appetite, lie is the fellow for me. He’ll do for the life insurance Companies and the grocery men to pin their faith to. Economy is a good thing until you try to swal low it. An internal application will shorten your days. I want everybody wh o eats, chews and smokes to spend any where from a nickle up with me tin's week and see if I don’t do the square thing.
