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 190/2.
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.

For Prosperity ! No free rides on
this route and no charity soup. But
if you get stuck on the bottom,
whet your appetite and cheer up
like the dying man who said he
wouldn’t be lonesome for he had
friends in both places. A fellow
who lias been at the top once and
will get there again, says lie lias
lost everything in the world —but
his appetite. He is the fellow for
me. He’ll do for the life insurance
Companies and the grocery men to
pin their faith to. Econemy is a
good thing until you try to swal
low it. An internal application
will shorten your days.
I want everybody w h o eats,
cliews and smokes to spend any
where from a nickle up with me
t his week and see if 1 don’t do the
square thing. Don’t be selfish
wttli you trade but make friends
with everybody, then, when you
run for Mayor or from the sheriff
you’ll get elected and protected.
