To The Good People Os Bryan County First we wish to say thank you to our many friends who have been so nice to us since it looked like the “bottom had fallen out” for us, due to to days tight financial situation, and the efforts of a little fel low and his wife wishing to make a better community out of Pembroke and Bryan County. We realize that our home will be sold at public auction on the first Tuesday in November, and realizing that there might be those that would like to buy it, but would hesitate coming out and seeing the home, this is to tell all of our friends that they would be welcome to come out and see the home and see for themselves just what is going to be bought. At the present time we are not sure of just what and where the Anderson family will wind up, but we still have some friends and look forward to a happier future than perhaps we have had in the past. Wherever we are and whatever we do, the good people of Pembroke and Bryan County will always be close to our hearts. Sincerely Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Anderson P.tTa.
