The New Year
mHere
It Is appropriate at the beginning
of a new year to look back over the
* one just passed and review the general
conditions which existed thru those
twelve months. Business conditions
with this store were unusually good,in
1915 and we thank our many friends and
customers for making the yeargprosper-
ous one. We have made many new friends
and ws hope have lost none.
In this new year we look forward to
better conditions thrubut the country
end expect to gain additional business
from those that have not heretofore
patronized us. If you are not num-
bered among our patrons, we will ap-
preciate a trial—we think we can
please you. . ■ . •
