We wish to express sincere thanks to all our friends and
customers for your patronage and good will during the twenty-
nine years we were connected with Noack Grocery Company.
Your friendships and associations mean more to us than words
can express.
We are also appreciative of all the nice expressions that
have come our way sinc^ the sale of the Noack store to T. A.
and Denson Weems, and it is our hope that you will give the
new owners the same loyal consideration that was always ours
to enjoy.

Again we say "Thanks a Million” and please accept our
sincere best wishes for each of you.
