Tho 61kl'' year is drawing
near to its end; -and the season
for;rej.oicing and thanksgiving
has. coupe once again. We feel
tl5x . we ' cannot let it go by
wthout returning our sincere
thanks to those who have
given us such generous pat-
ronaae during the past year.
The il,crease in our business
has more than exceeded our
most sanguine expectations,
and it is to you, kind friends,
that it is due ; not that we
wish to be too modest for we
think that we have faithfully
endeavored to always have in
stock a complete assortment of
• goods in the best quality, and
at the right prices.
Again we will wish you all
.a Merry Xmas and a Happy
New year.
Yours faithfully,
HOMUTH & BOWLES,
