GREETING
At the close of a difficult year may we
thank our good friends for their staunch
support. Never before have Canadians
properly realized the importance of buying
goods made in Canada. Upon this policy
rests much of their own prosperity, and, as
we go forward into 1932 there is every
indication of a deeper consciousness of
. this fact.
To the many good wishes for Christmas
and the New Year that will be youys we
wish to add[ our own. May yours be a full
measure of Happiness and Prosperity all
through the coming year.

A NOTHER Christmas season is upon us, and as we look back
a"V upon the years which have passed, we are indeed hound to re
turn our deepest gratitude for the blessings- we enjoy, During the
year which is so rapidly drawing to a close, we have, individually
and collectively, experienced many new sensations and been
brought face to face with new problems, all of which bring us to a
fuller realization of the fact that we are but frail atoms and strive
as we will, our best is only failure without the guiding and direct
ing hand of Him Whose birthday we celebrate at this season.
, AVe wish for each of you and for those
near and d.ear to you that sincere old wish,
A Happy and Joyous Christmas and may
the New' Year dawn with a host of bless
ings in store for Canada and all of
A gain a Christian nation
*V Bows its head in fervent prayer
In homage to the Christ-Child,
; Thai taught us how to care
For the good in one another,
Tq put selfishness aside,
That the spirit of forgiveness
Might within us all abide;
.Oh, amongst the wreaths of holly,
. ’Midst the crush of mistletoe,
We can see a brighter dawning
By the -blessed candle’s glow,
And whafe’ex’ may be our burden,
Let the memory of Bethlehem
Be again the joyous herald
Of Peace on Earth, Good-will
Men.
