Lively Days Are Ahead!
Business will boom! Thirty-five hundred people in North Manchester alone, to say
nothing of the surrounding population, must lay in their fall supplies.
Where to Go, What to Get, How to Make a Modest Income, Cover the Needs
of a Growing Family?
These problems must be solved at once. No time to wait. Colder weather is just
around the corner. Heavier wraps, furs and underwear may be needed any day. We
do not assume to dictate. All we can do is to say plainly what we know of in our
store--that we show a grand assortment in every department--that we carry only
reliable brands of good merchandise and that our prices are invariably the
lowest, quality considered, of any store in this city. All these points coupled
with the fact that we're here to make any short comings right makes this store
an ideal shopping place.
Respectfully,
Humbert & Shaw
