hearing a good deal about them lately, and just here we
desire most sincerely to tender our many customers our
best thanks for the kindness and patience which they
have displayed in the rather trying circumstances in
which for the moment we are placed, and for the very
imperfect services we have been able to render. Please
bear with us a few days longer and then we will be able
to show you our GREAT NEW STOCK of the best
and most attractive goods in all departments, of what
will then be one of the most modern and best appointed
stores in the country, and we will then, as far as it is
possible for us, make up for the inconvenience to which
the public was subjected during the progress of the great
improvements, enlargements and renovations that are
now going on in our store.
