“T urnover” is a word. It is
also a gauge. Every m erchant
has his eye on his “tu rnover.”
H ere is how it works. T his
month th e m erchant may buy
som ething for $1.00 and sell it
for $101 a profit of only one

sock and spends the dollar for
an o th er item which he likewise
disposes of for $1.01 and he again
shoves his penny profit in the

is not to be sneezed at, year in

To my friends and customers, I wish to express
a sincere "Thank You" for your wonderful pat

a Jewelry Business in Brookings; The trust and
confidence you have shown, shall alw ays be
remembered.
I have recently sold my business to M r. S. L.
Willoughby, who has had even more years of
experience in the Jewelry business.
Upon M r. Willoughby's request, I shall con
tinue, for some time, to be associated w ith the
store, and it is my sincere hope that you w il give
him the same opportunity to serve you that you
have always given me.
I can truthfully say that you w ill find M r.
Willoughby a real asset to the City of Brookings.
