"Announcement of Change of Ownership of Mary's Beauty Shop

I wish to take this means of announcing, effective December 3, that Sgt. Gordon Hargraves has purchased my Beauty Shop and will return to Lusk to operate it when he is discharged from the Army. Until that time, Mrs. Joe Gerl will continue to operated it as in the past. The shop will be closed until January 2, 1946.

I personally wish to express my sincerest appreciation for the patronage that has been given my ownership. I am sure Sgt. Hargraves will operate the most modern Beauty Parlor, and I wish him every success.

Mary Philbrick"
