Furniture ad needs clarification

Letters from Our Readers

This letter is written to insure that a misinterpretation of an advertisement is not made regarding McElroy Furniture Company''s going out of business sale.

The wording of the advertisement leads you to believe that the present owners have operated the business for 41 years when, in fact, they have only managed it for the past six.

Only those having had a business of their own can understand the blood, sweat, and tears required to make it a success. McElroy Furniture Company was a success and served our community well for 35 years before the present owners acquired the business and its name, a name that can be traced through the books of Fayette County for five generations.

We could not remain silent and allow the wording of an advertisement credit someone else for a business we spent our lives building.

Dot and Don McElroy
In memory of: Ruby and Felt McElroy
Fayette
