PAUSE, on the Eve
of
Christmas,
1943,
to contemplate how much we owe the per
ennial character of our customers. With
gratitude and pride we scan the list. Some
of these customers have been with us for
more than a quarter of a century.
To these old customers, to new ones, and
to potential ones every member of this
organization now joins in wishing “Merry
Christmas.”

and the Blessed Babe
From many surrounding miles, by foot, and camel . , by mule and cart . . came the
simple, worshipping people. And astride jeweled trappings came the titled nobility.
All followed the Three Wise Men who followed the star that lighted the manger where
the infant Jesus lay. All brought Him gifts: each according to his means. Frank-in-
cense and myrrh. Vessels of precious metal and first born lambs. Wrappings of fine
fabrics and endless words of wisdom. But the greatest of all gifts bestowed upon Him
was a birthright given Him by the God of whom He was begotten—the gift of a noble
mind and a pure heart, which were to make Him the greatest student, teacher and lov
er of mankind to ever walk the earth! For through His observation and instruction
He gained a Faith which followed Him to the cross, and which lives on in all who be
lieve in Him, until today as for all time! As we observe the date of His birth this De
cember 25th, 1943, let us remember too that the spirit of His teaching is one of love,
tolerance and gentleness. He loved all colors, all nationalities, all creeds of man. He
sought not to fill their hearts with fear—but with love. And none can justly claim to
be one of His faithful followers who looks upon his fellows with other than devotion.
Such a war as we fight today—to strengthen and perpetuate democracy around all the
world is sure of His blessing. For He taught that all mankind must unite in brotherly
love to achieve PEACE ON EARTH.
