GOLDEN ROLL OF HONOR

“ A continuous business relationship of 40 years or more is certainty a fair test of • 
i integrity and honorable dealing. 9 * 5 
— 
T HE continued growth of our Golden Roll of Honor is very gratifying to us. It is one of the 
sources of strength which enables us to maintain the standard that satisfies so many thousands 
of customers. It indicates the mutual confidence that exists between our patrons and ourselves. 
It shows that our methods are right, and that we supply our trade with “ the best goods at fair prices.” 
Our business, established over eighty years ago by the grandfather of the Brecks now in control, 
is still conducted under the same roof, but with its growth it has spread on all sides, so that we now 
occupy the entire block bounded by North Market Street, Merchants Row, North Street and Bend all’s 
Lane. Five floors of io.coo square feet each constitute our salesrooms, offices and accommodation for 
a working stock for our retail business. 
Our great storehouse of eight floors in the massive State Street block affords facilities for carry¬ 
ing and handling goods for our wholesale trade. 
For this growth we are in a great measure indebted to the friends who constitute our Golden Roll 
of Honor, and to the many new customers they have made for us through their recommendations. 
VVe take this opportunity to thank all our friends for their many favors, and we beg to assure them 
that no effort will be spared to maintain the high standard of goods and service. 
This year we are privileged to add to our list the names of six more valued customers whose pho¬ 
tographs we reproduce on opposite page. 
We print below recent additions to our already large list of Golden Roll of Honor friends who have 
traded with us forty years or more.
