Established April 10, 1934. 19 Memorable Years of Service
Past Year Greatest In Merchandising By
Panhandle Dry Goods Company
Today is the 19th Anniversary of the
establishment of the Panhandle Dry Goods
Co. It was April 10, 1934, that this store
was established at this location, where it
has been in operation all of the 19 years.
Main reason for establishment of this
store was to fill a genuine need for nation-
ally known merchandise—quality apparel.
The past year has been the greatest in
the history of this store. Our stocks have
been increased and this has enabled our
customers to have a larger selection of
merchandise. This has caused our volume
to be the largest ever and we are deeply
appreciative of the fine support we have
received.
It was no easy task to put this store
on a firm foundation. It was founded dur-
ing the depression in the era of low prices.
Scarcely had we gotten on our feet than
the problem of World War 2 s faced us
with rationing and merchandise shortages.
But we have fought to overcome
handicaps and today we believe our efforts
are showing results. We have put our earn-
ings back into our business to give Pan-
handle a better store.
Late in 1951 we became the sole
owners of the stock and building. Our
friends and customers have been most
generous in their patronage to help Pan-
handle to have a first-class home-owned
dry goods store.
It will be our policy to continue to
feature nationally known brands. Our
policy of first-class merchandise and cour-
teous service enable you to shop with full
assurance that you will get your money?s
worth.
Your patronage during 19 years has
been a source of great satisfaction and
inspiration. Your friendship cheers us as
we enter our 20th year of merchandising
with Panhandle Dry Goods Co.
Our Sincere Thanks to Everyone
Panhandle Dry Goods Company
