In every department of our big business, this
good old, dying Nineteen Hundred and Nine has
worked wonders for improvement and growth.
Far and away, it has been the biggest and
best year of all the eighteen our business experi
ence has spanned. And for this sound sane growth
we have the people of Devils Lake and Ramsey
County to thank.
By their loyal support we have been enabled
to build up one of this largest retail business in
the whole Northwest and to compete with any of
the Mail Order Houses and keep the money here
to build up our home enterprises.
And to you all we send a warm, hearty hand
clasp, with a wish that in the New Year, all the
good things you so justly deserve, may come to
you and yours.
