1929 is gone and 1930 is with us. We would be ungrate-
ful should we fail to tell our list of friends and customers
that we certainly appreciated the nice business we have
enjoyed since we opened our drug store in Alto.
We face the New Year very optomistic and look forward
to continued pleasant business relations with you. Rest
assured that both the quality drugs and supplies and good
service will be yours at Brittain's Drug Store all during
1930. Again we say—
THANK YOU
