Card Of Thank* To Our Many Friends
We take this method of saying "Thank You" to each of
our many customers. It has been a pleasure to serve
you. Many have been customers for seventeen years—
as long as we have been here at the plant. To these,
and to all who are our good friends as well as custo-
mers, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks, for
without your faithful cooperation, this business would
not have succeeded as it has in the past.
We will not be associated with the Bastrop Locker Plant
after March 1, but we will always have a special place
in our hearts for each and every one of you.
