try to show our appreciation every day to our customers, but especially today Thanksgiving Day do we feel like pausing a moment to thank the customers and friends for their loyalty and liberal patronage the past year. tJNo country, no state, and no city has more grounds to be thankful than does ours and we want to join our voices in the chorus of general thanksgiving today. HTODAY is the glad, thankful home-coming time. Let us all celebrate the day in the spirit of one who realizes that whatever blessings he enjoys are not due to Self alone but to the Unseen Power who guides the tinies of man, to the splendid country which stands at the head of all nations and to the fine army of friends who daily show their loyalty and good-will. WE would be very selfish, indeed, if we did not pause at this time to express our appreciation of the blessings we have enjoyed the past year.

Thanksgiving day reminds us of our duty to the Omnipotent for the blessings in health and prosperity He has granted to us and ours. May we take this opportunity to thank our friends who have been so true and loyal to us during the many years we have been in business, especially for their liberal patronage the past year.
