STORE FROSTS. EVANSVILLE, IMD, To Whom it May Concern; The issuance of this book is prompted by frequent inquiries from various sources, as to our ability to compete successfully with competitors all over the United States. Samples are truth¬ ful representatives of the every day output of our establishment. We have them in every state and territory in the United States. The Idea suggested itself to us, that prospective customers, who are not familiar with our products, would more readily appre¬ ciate a statement by disinterested parties who had actual knowl¬ edge from experience in the use of our store fronts. We, there¬ fore, publish herein a few unsolicited testimonial letters, and a partial list of our satisfied customers. Read these pages carefully and perhaps you will find one of our fronts in your own town or vicinity. Yours sincerely, GEO. L. MESKER & OO., Evanavtllo. Ind. DesIgnBPS znd Mfrs. of Store Fronts.
