MERRY xmAs-nAppY NEW YEAR

AS the year is drawing to close.
the spirit OF the season prompts us
to take a brief retrospect over the
past twelve months. and the result is
most gratifying. Business has been
good throughout the year. and by this
we mean we have enjoyed our share
OF work In our line. For this we were
of course dependent on our friends.
But more than patronage. more than
the most flattering expressions of
commendation we appreciate the sin
cere good will which has been accord
cd us by our hundreds OF friends, and
we take occasion at this glad Christ
mas time to assure our friends of our
thorough appreciation. and that their
friendship is reciprocated two-fold
Just in words must thoughts be
spoken
BY old friends with thoughts un-
broken:
May Christmas be n happy day
And bring you cheer in every way"

berland company operates In Memphis
provides for the city to have a free
