Happy holiday greetings to ev-
ery one of you. May this be the
Merriest of Christmases for you
and your families—and may the
coming year bring you the rich-
est blessings in health and pros-

“Thank you for the patience, the
cooperation, the consideration
which you have so generously
shown us to, not only through
the year but for the past 30 years
which has been my privilege to
serve you, and we do value the
true friendship you have shown
us and deeply appreciate know-
ing all gifts are not wrapped

whirl.” And with our thanks,
we will endeavor to do all in our
power to merit a continuance of
