A week of bright sun-shiny ed by the Legder early in the

A NOTE TO YOU
Pearsall, Texas, Sept. 8, 1911.
We have a large number of customers and friends who we be-
lieve would speak a good word for us, but it is a privilege accord-
ed to every merchant to blow his own piccolo, and thus attract
attention to his wares. Some call it advertising. We trust our
solos and cadenzas may be easily distinguished in the concert of
the merchants. ' '
