'Ttoca, tfaiu tSie \

From tie days of Valley Forge, the War of 1812 and another with Mexico; through
the War between The States and that which later brought freedom to Cuba and self
government to the people of The Philippines; in World War I, in World War II, and
now in today's tragic engagement in Korea, brave Americans have paid the su
preme sacrifice that has bought freedom and liberty for you and me.
Now, as through the years, we honor the memory of America's defenders.
Through several decades this institution has kept pace with moving events. At the time
when Admiral Dewey blasted the Spanish fleet at Manila; when “Teddy” Roosevelt’s
Rough Riders made their famous charge up Kettle Hill at San Juan, this store had
been serving the community for more than ten years. Founded by C. W. Young, and
his brother, aided by J. C. McBride before he became Collector of Customs, thisistore
has a tradition to uphold. All of us who comprise the present Juneau-Young organiza'
tion share in the hope that service of the past is a pledge for the future, that the whole
community may work together for an improved condition of life for today and for a
much better tomorrow.
