Even more it is not uncommon for the banker, the merchant, the insurance agent, the lawyer and doctor and the seller of merchandise to greet you with the same speech. The feeling back of the words is a sincere desire, in nine cases out of ten, to honestly show friendliness. I seems such a little thing to say, does it not? Yet, after all, upon the little things we do and say to each other every day and night, hang the pictures on the walls of memory that brighten the corners where we are. Think it over, that not less, ut more, shall be done at home and wherever we work to help each fcther. Signed I August SB, 19S0. fol hm$fa in the August Furniture Sale Now Nearing the End?
