All signs point the right way, the clouds are passing beyond the horizon and the
good warm sun of prosperity has broken through the thickest of them and before the gentle
spring arrives, the business world will be back on its beaten trail. . -'.T'-
We have all had a scare but we were scareS more than hurt and "we need not worry
about the stock jobber, the drone in the busy bee-hive of commerce, let him tell his troubles
to his pals. ' - ... ... ;. , , ;
. The true business of the country has not been checked, but the business is still here,'
prosperity is a reality, look around you will find it. The yield to the farmer is a true yield
not an Imaginary one. The value of his products is a value of actual supply and demand
and they are the neccessary things of life and the demand has to be satisfied, Everything
loriks brighter, do what you can to brighten your neighbor's vision, look at things; as they
ARE with vou, not what people would make you think they are. We Believe 1908
will be a good year. : Lets all get out and push. We can all be optimists and if we do
aliiwili be bright and cheerful around us.
We thank you lor the business we have enjoyed the past: year, and take this op.
portunity to wish ypu all a year of health and plenty, . r
