WE WISH ALL A HAPPY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
o
UR trade during the year 1908 was one of the
largest we have had for which we wish to tender
our sincere thanks to our many customers.
We attribute this to the handling of the right
goods and selling them at the right price. One
of the strongest points in making a business successful is
the art of buying; knowing just what to buy and how to
buy. We think we have mastered this point; in fact the
big business done the oast year has very forcibly demon-
strated it to us. We nave pleased our customers in a
way that has indeed been gratifying to us, and we still
intend to keep up the lick.
The new year 1909 is ndw upon us and we expect to
make this one of the best years of our business
career in Eldorado. We are going to please our
customers. We thank you for past business and
s hope a continuance of the same.
