Thanhs For
Your Confidence
In reviewing the events of the past
twelve months, during which time we have
been the people as applicants for your ma?
terial and moral support, we have been
forcibly impressed with the fact that all
permanent success must rest upon a basis
of confidence.
That we have won your confidence
we are proud to know, and for it we are
grateful. For your unstinted patronage
and support we can only thank you and
assure you that In the years to come we
will redouble our efforts to merit the
same.
With the earnest hope that fortune
may smile upon each and every one of
you, we beg to subscribe ourselves.
