That the founders of Thanksgiving Day
—the sturdy old Puritans landing on a
“Stem and Rock-hound Coasf* had the gift
to stay there and find something to be thank
ful for.
That you were bom to enjoy the bene
fits of the magnificent country they helped
to create„ without encountering the hard
ships they endured.
That you are now living in the last fron
. tier and to you comes the opportunity to
help in building its cities—in the making of
its laws, in the development of its resources.
That in your time the strides of civiliza
tion have been and will be the most remark
able in the world’s history.
Tomorrow this store will be closed
all day.
