Notwithstanding the short crops in this section, 1911 has been a profitable year for us, and while we are extremely
grateful to you for the liberal portion of your business which you have given us we feel that to a great extent we have
merited it. We have tried to give you honest value for every dollar you have paid us. Our stock was never so
large and complete as now, and we are going to put forth every effort to make 1912 the banner year of our business.
To do this we are going to give you the best Groceries that money can buy, and at the lowest living prices.
