Washington' Birthday, Feb. 22
A RARE combination of *tateaman»hip and
military geniua; an unuaual embodiment of
tenacity un&hakable courage; a keen and
militant »ence of juttice: theae were the great
\irtues of George Waahingtor.
They represent the apirit of fairneat which wr
should utrire for in our butanes* relatront which
should manifest itself in the sale of god merchan
diae. in the giving of values. in the guarantee of
of satisfaction. In that spirit we are trying to run
this atore.
