ANNOUNCING SPRING GARDEN VALUES, BARGAINS 
and BONUSES to MY CUSTOMERS::-OLD and NEW 
Hello Again, 
Recently I got to checking my calendar and found that I 
have been doing business with many of you for 12 years. 
If it were possible to line up all the carloads of mer~- 
chandise I have sent to my customers during that time, 
they would probably stretch out of sight. Where the time 
goes is always a problem but in looking back over the past 
12 years, I am more than grateful for your support without 
which I couldn't be sending this letter.
