IN AN OLD FASHIONED
WAY
Of course we try to keep up with the times and keep improving
our service in every way, but there are a few old fashioned
ideas left in our business. One of them is that we believe in
courtesy, honesty and fair dealing, and another is that we sure
do appreciate your patronage, and think we should tell you about it.
If you like trading with this sort of firm, we invite you to start
with the New Year and assure you that these policies will not be
changed no matter what condition arises in the way of more ad-
vanced business methods.
Merry Christnvvs .... Happy New Year
