ET iN HARNESS
For another year's business
which is now upon us.
Looking back over the past one,
most of us cau see where we made
eines of jurgment. Looking for-
ward to the future, most of us will
try aucl avoid those same errors. •
We have made one resolution for
the new year, and we don't mind
telling you what it is :—To try if
possible and serve you better in every
way than we've done in the past.'
Now we think this is quite a propo-
sition, because we really believe
we've been doing pretty well in the
past; and we want those who have
been dealing with us to keep tab on
this statement, And those who have
not been dealing with us, commence
now and test our capacity to serve
you satisfactorily,
We wish everyone a Happy
and Prosperous New Year !
