thank the tribune for the kind and very generous article published recently i was really- quite overwhelmed that your newspaper would do such a positive thing for a small and relatively new business operation i guess my only problem now is figuring out how to cope with all the orders were bound to receive as a result of your story its very gratifying when you work extremely hard over a period of years to build up something like bruce county pine- and have someone come along and give you such a big boost the tribune should be commended for its dedication to stouffvillcs small businesses of which there are so many only when assistance is forthcoming do residents realize their town has something unique and worthy- of their patronage thank you again im cutting the article out and placing
