A Note of AppreciatioD.
Our friends have meant much
to us in our recent loss by fire,
and we realize as never before
the value of true friendship.
We appreciate their every
thought and expression of sym
pathy and are frank to airait
that it alleviates to a great ex
tent on loss
It is almost worth the price of
the fire tO find out how many
friends you have.
We are indeed grateful to that
great army of callers the night
before Thanksgiving Day, who
remembered us in su(^ a sub
stantial way. ,
We have not words to fully ex
press our appreciation; but we
are looking forward to a day
when the new home is finished
and we can give a real banquet
to all those loyal friends who in
any way contributed to this
shower, and I ask that each of
you take this as a special invita
tion to be present at this ban
quet on Wednesday night before
next Thanksgiving Dav
We will endeavor to make the
occasion as pleasant for you as
you did for us on this Thanks
