Dear Readers:
First, we extend, to all of you, a
sincere invitation to see the new
museum; we assure you that it will
be worth your time to come and see
it; we háve made many changes and
added many new items. Most
visitors are amazed to see the many
new items we háve on display; come
see it at your first convenience and
you will be glad you did.
Second, we badly need some old
glass or old Windows and, no matter
how old or dirty the glass may be,
we háve a way to clean it. If you
háve old Windows that are in your
way in your storage room, we would
be happy if you would donate them
to the museum and we will enter
your gift on our GOLDEN BOOK of
donors, where it will remain forever.
We can use any size from 8”xl0” on
up.
Fraternally yours,
Otto Hanuš
