WILLEY, President mmmiQUt Paiffe Distributors 304 NORTH BROAD STREET, PHILADELPHIA ANNOUNCEMENT Concerning The Mitchell Fletcher Stores The Finley Acker Stores The Fletcher Store A LL the resources, facilities and business equip ' ment of the above stores have recently been joined into one highly organized business structure. One of these firms has been continuously serving its patrons for a period of 83 years, while another has 38 years to its credit. The standing which each of these firms enjoys is the result of selling high-grade food, products and kindred merchandise, coupled with a service of equally high character. Each store will continue under the basic princi ples that have made it greatly respected and prosper- ' ous and will, in addition, be strengthened by close affiliation with the others. ' ' A customer purchasing at any of these stores will soon have at his or her disposal the same quality, price and varietv of merchandise, deliveries, credit arrange ments and other details of service of all other stores of this group. Dunlication of effort wijl thus be eliminated. Naturally, this carries with it lessened operating expense without curtailment of the personnel which" customers have been dependent upon for so many years. Todav, as in the past, any suggestions for the bet terment of the service tocustomers will be welcomed. Quality and absolute reliability wiH ever be ithe guiding star of these stores. i The Mitchell Fletcher Stores Northeast Corner 12th and Chestnut Street Southeast Corner 18th and Chestnut Streets 5708 Germantown Avenue Morris and Atlantic Avenues, Atlantic City The Finley Acker Stores Chestnut Street at 12th Terminal Store.
