We Wish You
A Joyous Holiday
but We Would Like For Our
Christmas Gift to Include More
Than Greetings and Good
Wishes.
As another joyous holiday season
reaches its climax, we are mindful
of the generous patronage and good
will you have showered upon us . . .
for which we are deeply grateful.
For the year 1935 we are going to
include more than greetings and
good wishes for your happiness and
prosperity. We hope to be able to
present you with more substantial
and concrete gifts.
Through an important service, and
an increased effort to be more friend- •
ly, more courteous, more attentive,
we expect to make it possible for you
to enjoy your relation with our firms
more than ever before. And through
an honest effort to give you greater
values and more worthwhile service,
we hope to make our gift more than
greetings and good wishes.
May The New Year Be Filled With Greater
Opportunity For All!

MRS. SIMPSON NOT
TO SEE EDWARD
FOR SOME MONTHS
Expects to Spend a Quiet, Fami
ly Christmas, With No
Special Events Being
Planned.
DECLINES TO DISCUSS
MARRIAGE WITH EDWARD
Cannes, France, Dec. 21 Mrs.
Wallis Simpson plans to wait sev
eral months before she sees the
Duke of Windsor again, her host
at the villa Lou Viei, Herman L.
Rogers, told International News
Service today.
He said:
“There is no possibility at all of
Mrs. Simpson seeing the Duke of
Windsor before spring. We are go
ing to pass a quiet, family Christ
mas, with nothing special planned.”
Plans Indefinite
Indicating Mrs. Simpson has no
definite plans, which are under
stood to be subordinated to Ed
ward’s decisions. Rogers denied
Mrs. Simpson has any idea of buy
ing or renting a house on the Ri
viera at present He added:
“There is no possibility of her
having anything in view at the mo
ment She will remain here for
several months.”
Rogers said Mrs. Simpson spends
most of her time at the villa writ
ing letters, reading and taking oc
casional afternoon drives.
Chats Wi((h Reporters
Earlier, marking the first and
only time since the abdication if
former King Edward that Mrs.
Simpson has consented to see cor
i espondents, she received me and
two other American newspaper
meta in the garden of the Rogers’
villa, and for the first time in her
life she talked freely to reporters.
She chatted informally for more
than a half an hour, but refused to
give permission to her visitors to
quote her.
Dressed simply but elegantly in
a trim sky blue skirt and smartly
cut plaid jacket, she appeared at
case despite a slight nervousness.
Discusses Riviera
We had hardly been introduced
when Mrs Simpson suddenly turn
ed and walked farther back into
the garden under the shade of a
large olive tree. A photographer
had suddenly appeared at the drive
way and was being rushed out by
a detective.
But with a good-natured smile
lighting her face, Mrs. Simpson
bantered with us about all the plac
es in which she had been reported
during the past few days and dis
cussed the Riviera’s beauty spots.
