FINE FOODS SINCE 1866 TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS: Some of us have lived a lifetime in the last few weeks. For six days, some sixteen hour days, three bulldozers and ten trucks hauled our entire half million dollar inventory to the Birdsboro dump. When we finally broke into our shipping office, the electric clock on the wall had stopped a twenty minutes to four. This was the time on the day of the flood when river water was lapping at our electric power supply that I stood in three feet of water to turn off our five main switches.

A half hour later eight of us waded through chest deep water to higher ground. When we next saw our warehouse, only the rooftop was showing. In contrast to the wanton destruction of the flood has been the magnificent outpouring of help and support from all quarters. First, our loyalty and willingness to work under the most difficult, and at times, hazardous conditions has been most gratifying. Then came the volunteers; the church people, students, college professors and friends from the neighborhood and elsewhere, people we had not seen for years.

The city police, fire, health, and park departments have been superb in their cooperation such that we avoided a potential health hazard about which we were very much concerned. All the contractors we have worked with in the past turned in yeomen service. Many of our suppliers have volunteered to replace much of the inventory lost, and our bankers have given us their confidence and financial backing. In gratitude and praise to so many for so much I am happy to say: WE WILL BE BACK IN BUSINESS MONDAY, JULY 17, Sincerely yours, John S. Saylor, Jr.
