MARKING OU
ANNIVERSARY
IN MINEOLA
On December 15th we celebrate our sixth anniver-
sary in business in Mineola. The years have been kind
to us during this stay in Mineola which is evidenced
by the healthy business which we have experienced,
and for this excellent patronage which we have re-
ceived, we desire to thank those who have made it pos-
sible for us to grow and prosper.
Since establishing our business here six years ago,
it has increased 300 per cent over the first year's gross
receipts. This shop has grown from a small shop six
years ago, which hardly had enough equipment to do
business with, to a most modern cleaning and pressing
plant—in fact the most up-to-date and best equipped
plant in Wood County.
Of course these facts make us fell mighty good—it
makes us feel that our hard work has been repaid and
that the people of this town and county appreciate
the efforts of this shop. It might be said just here
that we number among our customers, scores of peo-
ple who have not had work done anywhere else during
the six years of our establishment To those who have
remained faithful to us and who have been our regular
patrons, we attribute much of our success and we shall
strive in years to come to render even better service.
At this Christmas time we desire to express our
sincere appreciation for the loyal support of our pat-
rons and as we are celebrating our 6th Anniversary,
we extend to our customers our best wishes and good
luck for the holiday season... We invite our friends and
acquaintances in to see us whenever it is convenient
to come in.
