Gifts That Rival '
The Gifts of Old-
Regardless of how fine may be the material gifts
vof Christmas time, it is the gift of friendship, of good
fellowship, and of good cheer that makes Christmas
the holiday and holy-day that it is. -
Nothing quite equals the spirit of friendliness,
the good will borne one to another, the unselfish af
fection and deep regard which characterize human
contacts. That interprets the true Christmas Spirit.
The world is a void to the man without friends.
Life is worth while because of friends and the oppor
tunity to serve them. 'Nothing should be guarded ;
more jealously.
To our friends of forty years of bank-
ing, we extend our sincere wishes for ''
avinost Joyous Christinas day. - "
