Dear customer,

We’re also offering a unique one-day deal to our customers who have shown us their patronage over the year, and those who are new clients of Beaufort Tailors. For one day only, when you order custom-made apparel-suits, silk dresses, pants, or jackets — you will receive 10% to 25% off the regular charge. The discount applies to any material, from silk to cotton. The offer is valid between 9:00 a.m. when our store opens, and 9:00 p.m. when our store closes on the 16th.
We thank you for your patronage, and look forward to seeing you at our re-opening ceremony.

"Tomorrow we’ll see the Golden Gate Bridge." said Peter. "I’ve never seen a golden bridge before." Peter’s father smiled, but said nothing. Peter would soon see the bridge.
The next morning, his father took Peter to the bridge. How big it looked! And the bridge was red!
"It isn’t named for its colour," said his father. "It’s named for the Golden Gate."
"What’s the Golden Gate" asked Peter.
"A gate is either an opening, or a thing that closes an opening," said his father. "The Golden Gate is an opening in the land. Water from the sea comes through this opening into San Francisco Bay."
"Oh", said Peter. "And the bridge is over the opening. But why is the opening called the Golden Gate"
"Years ago men came here to took for gold. Many came by ship. For them it was a gate to gold."
"Well, I still think the bridge should look golden."
When peter got home, he sent a letter to a newspaper. In the letter he said: "Red is not the right colour for the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge should look golden, the way most people think it does."
Peter sent all the money he had saved with his letter. "This money is to help paint the bridge, "he wrote.
Many people read Peter’s letter. Right away, things began to happen! Some people sent money. A big company gave real gold.
But not all the people wanted to change the colour of the bridge. Will the Golden Gate Bridge ever be golden
