Puis Garage, DEALER Murray, Nebraska Owe Service And What It Means to You We Have a Joint Interest in This Community And We Wish to Join With You in Every Way to Promote the Community's Interests. In a sense, this community is like a farm it pays according to the way in which it is treated. ? The successful farmer co-operates with his farm. Knowing that certain soil elements are necessary to heal thy crop growth, he sees to it that these elements are main tained. The same principle holds good in community development. Our community is composed of two closely related elements town and country. They are both essential to healthy community growth. Ne glect or mistreatment of either of them by the other affects both it injures the whole com munity. Roth elements must be maintained. Accomplishing this is simply a matter of sincere co-operation among all of us in this com munity. Our idea of our own part to play for community good in a business way is To sell only such implements as have the quality to give high grade results in the field. To consider good performance by our implements as a part of our obligation. To sell every implement at a fair price. To practice the square deal towards each and every custo mer. On this basis we invite the co-operation of every farmer in this community. MURRAY Hardware and implement Gi MURRAY, NEBRASKA
