David Anthony's
David Anthony Gifts Thanks Loyal Customers and Asks Them to Support Local Businesses in 2010
542 North Main Street
|
Christmas of 2009 has passed, New Years Day 2010 has passed and soon I will be on my way to market to replenish the inventory at David Anthony's which has been reduced by my loyal customers. More than I can say, I appreciate your support to my store this past year. As we all know, 2009 was difficult for all concerned; however, due to the faithfulness of my customers, I anticipate a better 2010. I am excited about going to market and the home decor -- as well as gift items -- that I will find there.
Please take time to read the 3/50 Project stated below. As most of our merchants are "Brick and Mortars", I believe you will find this interesting.
3: Pick three businesses you'd hate to see disappear, then return to them. Pick up a little something that makes you smile. That's what keeps those places around.
50: Commit $50 of your current monthly spending to locally owned businesses. If half the employed US population did that, it would generate more than $42.6 billion annually.
68: For every $100 spent in locally owned, independent businesses, more than $68 returns to the community. If spent in a big box or chain, the number drops to $43; spend it online and nothing comes home.

Wishing each of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

This week, we're featuring our
100% Organic Whole Wheat bread and our Honey Wheat bread
Our 100% Organic Whole Wheat bread is made with 100% organic whole wheat flour, a bit of honey, and a dash of olive oil. You'll appreciate the hearty goodness found in every loaf of our 100% Organic Whole Wheat bread. It's vitamin-rich, full of protein and loaded with fiber! Our 100% Organic Whole Wheat is normally available for $3.75 but will be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for $3.25.
Our Honey Wheat bread is made with white wheat flour, whole wheat flour, a spoonful of honey, and a drop of olive oil. I think our Honey Wheat bread makes THE BEST peanut butter and banana sandwiches! Our Honey Wheat is normally $3.39 but will be available on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for $2.89.
Stop in and pick up a loaf of our wheat bread, or call us at (919) 557-2237 and place your order. I promise, you won't regret trying something new!
As always, we mix our breads from scratch, shape them by hand, and bake them in our big German oven right here on Main Street. We bake with only unbleached and unbromated flour and never use any additives or preservatives. Come and taste!
Our Baker's Choice Breads
Josh, our baker, loves experimenting with bread recipes and creating new bread flavors. He draws inspiration from artisan bread books, bread baking websites, and you. This week, Josh is baking French Bread Bowls and Sourdough Bread Bowls. I can't wait!
Monday- French Bread Bowls
Our French Bread Bowls are a wonderful addition to your soup or chili dinner. Simply cut off the top, hollow it out, and fill it with your favorite Fall soup. I love to serve mine loaded with my mom's famous Autumn Chowder (a thick creamy chowder made with potatoes, cheddar cheese, and bacon). Yum! Our French bread bowls will be available on Monday for $1.50/bowl. Call now and place your order!
Wednesday- Sourdough Bread Bowls
This Wednesday, Jenn (our assistant baker) is baking Sourdough Bread Bowls. They're crisp crackly crust, chewy interior, and trademark sour tang will tickle your tongue. Our Sourdough Bread Bowls make perfect dip bowls and are wonderful loaded with broccoli cheese soup. Our Sourdough bread bowls will be available on Wednesday for $1.50/bowl.

Dennis thought so too. On January 1, 2010, Dennis Duke CPA officially changed its name to Duke & Duke CPA, P.A. Dean Duke is Dennis' wife and she has worked with him for more than 20 years. She received her Master's in Accounting from North Carolina State University in 2008 and passed the four-part CPA exam on the first try! Congratulations to the Dukes!

Attention bargain-seekers
One of Cellar 101's wine wholesalers recently had an inventory clearance of some really nice wines in order to raise some cash. Needless to say, we were able to purchase a limited supply of top- quality wines at extraordinarily discounted prices. We'd like to move this additional Holiday inventory as quickly as possible, so as is always the case when Cellar 101 gets a great deal, we're passing the savings along to our valued customers. Most wines are being sold for between 25%-50% off the original suggested retail prices! I would encourage you to come on down before the end of the week, because once these wines are gone, they're gone for good. Even if the brands found are picked back up by Cellar 101 , they will only be available at their original, much higher prices. I fully expect that these wines, at these prices, will not last until the end of the month!
