ITT7E wish you a

A1oPPJ 'AAA
porous New Year, and
take this occasion to
thank you for the gen
erous help you have
given us that has en-
abled us to build our
business to what it is.
On November, 7 1903,
we began the Hardware
business with a total
stock of $4,000 occupying
a floor space of 1000
square feet.
In January, 1905, we
added the plumbing and
timing department to
our hardware business,
and on January 1, 1906,
added another depart
ment, that of furniture,
by the purchase of the
Kerslake stock. This
needing more floor space
we leased the entire
Kirkpatrick building G,
which we now occupy
with the addition of a
large warehouse for each
department..
We now have a total
floor space of over 5000
square feet, over 9 times
the space we had in the
beginning. We now
employ regularly t n
people to look after this
business; five times as
many as we. had in the
beginning, and we are
now doing more than
ten times the business
we did in 1904, and be-
lieve that in 1908 we
will do Is times as much
as we did in 1904.
You, our customers
have made our increased
stock possible, for which
we thank you, a n d
promise in the year 1908,
if we have your custom
it will be taken care of
in the same way that it
was in 1907.
Yours for a more pros
porous 1908.

THAT 'O7 HABIT.
BY DEAN COLLINS.

All men Of experience freely will grant
That habit can stick where a postage
stamp can't;
And, often attaching itself unto you,
Will cling far more close than a
brother can do;
But the habit that hugs us most closely
of late,
Is writing 'O7 instead Of 'OS.
Though now we have left 1907 behind,
The figures '07 still stick in the mind ;
In dun or In letter, receipt-book or bill,
That pesky '07 keeps popping up still ;
And in writing check for some goods
we have bought,
We date it '07 with hardly a thought.
We sign receipt for a bill overdue,
Rejoicing to know our suspense Is now
through;
We hand the slip over with scarcely a
think,
And make a glad grab for the SHIN
mering chink.
The fool comes back grinning, and
shows us the date
We've written '07 instead of '0S.
We write short note to the girl we
adore,
On fine tinted paper, (ten pages or
more,)
There's copious gush in that sweet
billet-doux,
AS from a large faucet that's busted
screw;
We read before mailing and darn
our fool patel
It's dated 'O7 instead OF 'O8.
Worn out by life's struggle, our body
deceased,
May not lie at rest in the ground we
have leased;
Our sorrowing heirs must erect a
proud shaft,
So the stone-outter carves from an
intricate draught,
On the fair, snowy marble, our flight
into heaven
And dates our demise in the year Of 'O7.
