We Wish You
A Happy and a Prosperous
I New Year
We thank our customers for the most liberal patronage accorded us
during the past year, and hope to merit a continuance of the same in
the years to come. We have conscientiously tried to serve you in the
best ways we knew and feci thankful that our efforts have been appreci
ated.
A Plain Statement Regarding Our
| BusinessPo/j'cy
•J The old year has just closed, with its pleasures for many and anxieties,
fears and forebodings for others. The stern realities of war have
forced themselves upon .nearly every home. Tn addition to the de
parture of loved ones, prices of all living commodities have assumed
high levels and we are told prices are to go even higher. This means bur
dens that may be hard for some at least to bear. We believe that the
time is surely here for a practical demonstration of Patriotism in ail
walks of life.
Naturally, our first thought is for the boys who have gone to the front
and those who will follow. A willingness to make what sacrifices are
necessary for their comfort and welfare seems to us to be the most ini-,•
portant. 1 hey are the ones upon whom we must depend to do the N
real fighting that is to win this war, and it is certainly the duty of those
who for good reasons do not or can not go to be right back of them in
the strongest manner possible.
*1 Seriously considering the war with all its attendant possibilities, both
to the boys who have gone and to those who arc at home, the proprie
tors of this store have decided that the prices for the goods we sell dur
ing the year 1918 shall not exceed those which prevailed during the Fall
season of 1917, even at a sacrifice of our profit, it being a secondary
consideration.
<1 We will go into the markets this month and purchase a six months'
supply of furniture and other home furnishings, and expect to pay an •
advanced price for the larger portion at least, but we guarantee that
any such advance will not be considered in setting our selling prices
for the season.
We want to do business, we want a living for ourselves and employes;
I beyond this we want, first of all, to do our part in helping to win the
Jm war, and one of our ways to do this is by keeping our prices down and
m thus aiding our customers in conserving their own resources. We in-
P| vite your co-operation by giving us a share of.your* patronage during the
present year.
