To Our
Friends and
Customers .. .
First, we extend our sincere thanks to all those
who have assisted in any way since our fire of, last
week.
It is at a time such as this that we realize fully

almost never-ending and each was most apprec-

Despite the fire, we are still able to provide
custom slaughtering and processing to our
customers. With the aid of others in the business,
plus the facility of our store on the main street in
Dashwood, we have adequate facilities for
slaughtering, processing and freezing.
We also have meat and some grocery items
available at the present and this stock will be add-
ed to as quickly as possible.
Your continued patronage at this time will be
most appreciated and we will do our utmost to
provide the type of service you have come to expect
from Merner's.
