There is one good thing about New Year and that is the fact that it gives an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and make a new start, with brand new resolutions, not that the past year has not left us many things to be thankful for, indeed it has, and the one thing that we are most thankful for, is for the liberal patronage that our friends and enstomes have given us, and to show that we have appreciated their patronage, we are going to give to each customer that buys a pair of horse blankets or lap robe a good 6 1-2 foot full length rawhide whip and also one chance to draw a ten year guarentee gold filled watch.
