HOME GROCERY ANNIVERSARY.

Close First Year’s Business and Are Well Pleased With Results. . When the Home Grocery began business a year ago there were indications that the business in which the proprietors were embarking was already overdone, but the hustling young proprietors determined to go after trade with a vim and put their whole energy into the business. The result has been that they have concluded the first year’s business with profit and today enter upon the second year confident that they will be even more succesful. An invoice just completed shows that their stock is considerably larger than it was a year ago, and an invoice of their energy and desire to please the public shows that this capital has not deteriorated in the least. The proprietors, Walter Lee and Frank Rowen, are hustlers, firm believers in advertising, and both able salesmen and popular with the public. But one outcome and that a successful one is the certain reward for the push and business integrity they have follbwed, The proprietors will welcome the business of the public and will try to retain it when they get it. If you have not been a customer of the Home Grocery during the past year, you will be just as welcome now as ever before. Phone orders receive prompt attention, and the prompt deliveries of all orders has been one of the prides of the business.
