May the Spirit of
Christmas Abide In
Your Heart and Ours
In other words, may the spirit of UNSELFISH SERVICE
be prevalent everywhre.
We believe our city and community comes as near showing
this spirit as any on earth.
A city, a firm, or an individual need have little fear of ultimate
success if the guiding light of either could be said to be “the
spirit of Christmas.”
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
YOUR PATRONAGE!
We greatly appreciate it and shall continue
to do our best to merit whatever business
you turn our way.
