The year just passing has been associated with
the most cordial relations between us and our cus-~
tomers and business friends; hence, we takg this op-
portunity of offering our thanks and tendering to
you our hearty congratulations upon your achieve-
ments of the past ^eart alon’g with our sincerfL wish^
es for further and greater^ measure of good to you
in the future. We sincerely trust that our business,
as well as social, relations, with the help oi an Al-;,
mighty Providence, will continue to be what they 1
always have been, and that the ties shall be more
closely cemented witlFthe*closing fig each yeaF.
If you have never traded at our store we will ■
-thank you to give us a trial and remember if at anyT
r. . a . • <r' ” • <,
tttKe^ur goods are not satisfactory tell us ah<5Ut it*
and we will make them satisfactory. With best
wishes for the coming year and asking that you give
us a consideration when needing anything
line, we are Yours truly,
The year just past has been a prosperous one
and to the many friendly customers whose preference
forms the basis of thu prosperity thanks are due
and rendered gratefully, I believe that every man
connected with the old drug store on the corner has
made earnest and conscientious ’effort to render ser-
vice worthy of the large pationage we've enjoyed in
1908, and I feel sure that the same effort will be
made in 19Q9. During the New Year we respect-
fully ask that you continue the patronage so liberally
bestowed in 1908. and promise the same effort to
merit it.
FUTUHKS ARK BETTER, BUT
BPOTH ARK UNCHANGED.
We extend to you our sincerest thanks for the
liberal patronage you have given us during the pres-
ent year. Our success^ or failure in the business
world depends solely on the patronage of the peo-
pie of this community and we are proud to say we
are just closing the mdst successful year of our bus-
iness. It has been, and will ever be, our aim to sell
the best goods possible for the least money and to
guarantee everything exactly as represented oryouf
money refunded.
We do not claim to have the largest stock of
goods in town, but we do claim to carry as nice,
clean, up-to-date stock as will be found anywhere in
Denton county. At present our stock is practically
free from goods carried over from one season to an-
other, as it is our custom if we find an article a
little slow in selling to cut the price while it is still
new and turn over our money into something else,
thereby keeping our stock free from old goods and
giving you something new. • ■
As we advertise we sell is a pet hobby of
ours as old customers have known, and we want,
not oniy old customers, but new ones to know tfjat
when we advertise a certain article at a certain
price that you can get that -article at advertised
brook.
