is nearing it's close. In many respect
it has been a peculiar year. The oft6
changing conditions of the crop prospect
kept us blue one month and bright the
next. But in the words of the old adage
"AlFs well that ends well." This year
has certainly ended well for us, having
been the best that we have ever had.
Again, we wish to thank every one who
has helped us in any way to make it so.
1912
We shall put forth mighty efforts to make
1912 still better and trust that we will be
favored with the hfearty patronage from
each of you which we have had.
Wishing for all the best and happiest
New Year of their lives, and assuring
you of the fact that we are always pleased
to serve you, we are '
