BY reference to our marriages the
many friends of Mr.. Peter Berry will
see that he has left the state of single
cussedness and entered the state of
double blessedness. We always knew
that Peter was in no ways selfish, and

may you continue to strike it rich,
and may this last strike be the richest
one of your life, as we believe it will.
May your bark flow as smoothly down
life's highway, as the oil from the
Balltown wells through the United
Pipe line.
