Beginning the New Year with a very opto-
mistic view we are determined to make it
the banner year of our business. Thanks to*
your help, last year was far better than we
expected and we feel more than grateful to
our many friends for any business they have
given us, however small.
This year we are going to try to merit your
trade with better service and greater values
than ever before and to please you in every
way will be our first thought.
With every wish for a happy, healthful, and
prosperous New Year.
