We take this means to thank the people of Malheur and Harney
counties Oregon and of Canyon and Washington counties Idaho for
the largest business in 1912 ever done by this firm.
With unimpaired confidence in 1913 and with courage strengthened
by the support and patronage received in the past years justifies us
more than ever in sending our camels to all parts of the Earth for
larger and better stocks of merchandise than ever before and to
make this store a credit to this section of the intermountain
country.
It is our desire and intention always to give a full dollar's worth of
goods for every dollar paid to us and to do our work mindful of our
obligation to the community of which we are and always want to
be a part. . .
