We owe the smokers of this city this word of
acknowledgement for the cordial spirit in which they
helped vis open our store at 836 East Main Street,
on Friday.
The welcome we received rang true as Southern'
hospitality always does.
It was not so much that the store's receipts on the
opening day ran up into figures beyond our expec?
tations. This was something to be proud of, of course,
but better still were the words of kindly welcome which;
fell from every lip.
We were made to feel at home from the very start.
That was the vital thing.
In recognition of this friendly expression on the
part of the smokers of this city we cannot do more
than say that it will be our effort to deserve it.
Mere thanks, however, earnest they be, fall short
of the occasion. We must pay our debt of gratitude
in a better way, and this we will try to do, by making
