of this branch, as well as in the fact that among our present patrons are some who bought from us forty years ago and many more who 
have dealt with us for over a quarter of a century. To these and to the thousands of customers of more recent date, we desire to 
extend our thanks for their liberal patronage in the past, and also to assure them that the liberal dealing and strict attention to their 
wants, which has ever been the leading feature of our house, will, as heretofore, be steadily maintained.
