The old friends OF his brother, S. Levin

The Roll of Honor

The publisher of the RECORD is very
grateful for scores who have paid their
subscription and taken advantage OF the
dollar subscription before January l..
Prompt payments places persons on the
roll OF honor, because the payment of
bills enables the receiver to pass pros
perity around. One dollar will soon pay
a thousand bills if passed on.
In order to meet pressing needs in the
printing office q large outlay of money
will be required. 1t is customary to turn
over a new leaf at the beginning of the
year and the turning over of a dollar bill
o@ed another is that leaf. We hope
others will o be added to the roll of
honor and that prosperity will be passed
around more rapidly in 1917 than in 1916.
We wish all our readers a prosperous
and happy New Year.
