I take this method of expressing to you my deep appreciation for your
friendship and patronage throughout the many years that I have served
you as the owner of the Sanders Drug Store in Albany.
There have been good years and lean years during this time, but
through them all you have been loyal to me and to my business. Your
friendly attitude has been the back-bone of whatever success Imay have
had. I am deeply grateful and hope that this message may reach each
and every one of you.
I have sold the Sanders Drug Store to Messrs. Cecil Weaver and John
Oates, who will operate the store in the same building under the new name
of Weaver & Oates Pharmacy. Each of these men have had long years
of experience in the drug business, both in the regular line and in the pre-
senptiondepartment. They are both thoroughly capable of filling your
every need in the drug line. I can heartily recommend them to you. They
will continue to handle only the best merchandise in every department. I
earnestly solicit your continued patronage of the store and assure you that
1 will appreciate it as well as Weaver & Oates.
1 will continue to be a citizen here, and will endeavor to work for the
betterment of Albany and Shackelford county and for the best interests of
all my loyal friends.
Very sincerely,
L. A. SANDERS
