TEMPORARY CLOSURE

Date: August 19

Dear Valued customers,

From September 1 to September 8, our store will be closed for business. The reason is that the state gas company, Pacific Gas, is digging up the main road outside our store to install some new gas pipes for our city. The road will be closed to both vehicles and pedestrians during this time.

During this temporary closure, our online and telephone order service will be fully operational. You can order goods through our secure Web site at www. thomasfabric. com or by calling this toll-free number 1-800-7401-0110. If you want to receive a catalogue of our merchandise, please call us at 1-800-8706-0603.

Our store will be open for business on September 9. We look forward to serving you again once the road work outside the store is complete.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thomas Miller Store Manager
