Morry and Happy Naw Year.

The season of gift-giving and well-wishing has again arrived. Everyone greets his friends with "A Merry Christmas and a Hap­py New Year/' So do we. All our customers are our friends. But to meet each one personally would be almost impossible. Therefore we have taken this means! of let­ting you know that we have not forgotten you.

Please Consider This Personal,.
