At the close of the old year and
before the commencement of the
new, we wish to tender sincere
thanks to our many friends for
favors and good will extended to us
in the past. Looking backward is
always a curious mingling of
pleasure and regret. There are
some things to forget, some to
forgive and some TO remember with
pleasure. If to err is human and to
forgive divine, we hope that in the
years to come we shall have an
opportunity to repair any uncq1-
scious errors of omission or
commission, should any exist, and
If we have earned your good will
we feel that, guided by the expert
ence of the past, we shall be able
to serve and please you still better
In the future.
With the hope that the new year
and every succeeding year will
prove TO be a happy and prosperous
one TO all, we beg leaveto subscribe
ourselves. with kind regards.
