Washington' Birthday, Feb. 22
A RARE combination of statesmanship and
military genius; an unusual embodiment of
tenacity, unshakable courage; a keen and
militant senceof justice: these were the great
virtues of George Washington.
They represent the spirit of fairness which we
should strive for in our buisness relations which
should manifest itself in the sale of good merchan
dise, in the giving of values, in the guarantee of
of tabsfaction. In that spirit we are trying to run
this store.
