TO OUR MANY FRIENDS: 
When quality is lacking, price means 
nothing. To sell you just for the mere sake 
of selling you is not considered the chief end 
of our business. TO SELL, TO SERVE and 
TO SATISFY YOU ... together, these three 
make a composite picture of our aims. 
Your continued patronage and your confi- 
dence is the best way to express your appre- 
ciation of our service and your satisfaction. 
We thank the thousands of customers who 
have been our loyal friends for their pa- 
tronage. 
Please feel that we are not mere seller and 
buyer but, rather, that we are good neighbors 
and close friends. We want you to feel free 
to call on us for any information or aid. Any- 
thing that we know is yours for the asking. 
And when you’re in San Antonio, or in the 
vicinity of any of our stores, drop in and 
visit with us, won’t you? 
Yours truly, 
The Gerd Staffel Company

What a glorious triumvirate! Picture 
all of them together, climbing your 
home wall, trailing along the garden 
fence or festooning the garage. Here
