Plenty room for all. But I must inform you that Garber is still in town, and very much a live. A little disf but still in the ring. Down but never out. You cannot keep a Coon Dawg from howling or a Squirrel on the ground.

Garber will build many, many more of the best buildings in the city. And you will always know them, by his works, you can tell them. He has more satisfied clients and can get more endorsements than any three of his competitors. Why can he? Service has been his motto. He may not be cursed with so much of the filthy lucre, but the last twenty years he has accumulated an army of friends, who will last throughout the ages.

And he would not trade them for all the ill-gotten gain on this globe. Service he has given until he has won all creeds and political factions. Look Below-Read and Weep NOEL NEILSON Attorneys at Law Lexington, Mississippi February 9, 1924. TO WHOM IT MAY I have known Mr. I.
