ekly Gi sun Dy VOL. .XXXV. BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1912. ’, x _ NUMBER 2 ONE YEAR OLD. On Nov. 1st, 1912, We Will Have Been in Business in Butler One Year—Watch us Grow. Ihave just been in business in But- ler one year and I want to thank the people of Butler and the surround- ing towns and country for their pa- tronage during the past year and hope to keep it in the future. It took the people a little while to find us out but they did and this year’s business shows a gain of about 30 per cent. over the past two years (each). I attribute the success of our business mainly to service be- cause only through serving my trade to perfection can I be sure of the pa- tronage once accorded. Very often I find troubles that I dkF not notice taking in the job, and in such cases ifa definite price was set for the work I corrected the ad- ditional trouble without adding to the price, excepting cases where I can counsel with them to their en- tire satisfaction. I will not leave unturned any point of service that will add to the effec- tiveness of my work or the satisfac- tion of my customer. Imakea strong point of getting the customer to bring his watch to me repeatedly for regulating after I have delivered it to him. This is often hard to accomplish, though the customer is quick to blame the watch repairer if his time piece loses or gains a little as he carries it, not realizing that it can not be perfectly regulated to the condition under which he carries it as when it is hanging peacefully on my _ rack. When delivering it I make him prom- ise to bring it in 8 or 10 times. This I believe is why we do such a large repair business. cal department up to the highest standard which modern | invention and science can make. We now have the advantages of the city. Now being equipped with a scien- tific dark room with an illuminated chart which gives us the advantage of testing night or day and also which gives the patient the advan- tage of knowing just how their glasses will feel to them by artificial light. We guarantee to give satis- faction to the wearer in every way. We do jewelry, clock and umbrella repairing of all kinds. If you have any old jewelry you want made into new jewelry, bring it to us and let us make it new. Don’t forget that Chrismas will be on yoy before you know it and we bid you come and look over our stock any time whether you buy or not. Try us this Chris- mas. Once a customer of ours, we believe you will always be. We carry the largest line of watches, clocks, jewelry, cut glass, silverware umbrellas and china in Bates county. We -are always pleased to meet you in our store and would like to have you a customer of ours. Yours very truly, Welton Jewelry Co. Wilbur E. Welton.
