‘ESTABLISHED 1893
AMUSEMENT ENTERPRISE |
Special Notice to our friends and the profession: As there has been some talk through professional papers by a disappointed party to the effect that what we got from the DeKreko Bros. & Co. were only the ‘‘left-overs,’’ we beg to submit the following extract from the Bill of Sale under notarial seal: ‘For the total consideration of $......... the party of the first part (the disappointed ones) bargain, sell and convey to the party of the second part (Jean DeKreko, approved by Gabriel and George DeKreko) all of their Right, Title and Interest in and to the Wroperty and Effects of Whatsoever nature and kind and Wheresoever situated.”
We do not build “ castles in the air,’’ have been in the business for many years, and expect to continue in our modest but progressive way. We do not advertise in big type the amount of our capital, but have met and will always meet our obligations. The circular of the disappointed party going over the country to the effect that said party ‘“‘had left everything to his younger brothers (younger in age, but older in the business) of the former DeKreko Bros. & Co., we most forcibly deny. We paid cash for everything. If the party still owns anything it is our property by right of purchase and conveyance, and we have documentary evidence to this efiect to show to the public.
Explanation as to the word ORIGINAL, which will be attached to our name hereafter. We were recognized for years in the profession as the DeKreko Bros. before we had a so-called “‘ Director-General.’’ We, Gabriel, Jean and George, being the ‘“‘BrorurrRs” while they are merely cousins, and had no brothers in the profession then. We are not accustomed to ‘hot-air talk’’ and can prove our assertions by legal evidence to our friends in the profession.
