Once Again
we greet the New
Year in the traditional manner—with pealing bells,
with fun and gaiety, laughter and music.
Despite his ingenuity, man still persists in "watch
ing the old year out and greeting the new year" in
almost the identical manner of ,his forefathers.
«
In that same identical manner, we extend our
traditional New Year's greeting to you:
Maw gleams of hope, fresh stream s of cour-
« 3 ° / come w ith the d aw n in g of the N ew
Year.
V/e cherish the thought
ot the fine associcrtions
that have been ours for
m any y e a rs past, a n d
take this means of ex
pressing our deep appre
ciation of your valued
friendship.

AND PROSPERITY BE YOURS TODAY AND
