"The hand that rocks the cradle,
is the hand that rules the world.”
What there is good in us. our
f
Mother developed, what there is
w h\, she strengthens, what there is
Dad. she itelpc to repress.
Mothers have been the chiefest
inspiration of the poet, the most
beautiful model o:' the sculptor, the
most perfect subject of the painter,
the grandest theme of the orator, but
her beauties, her virtues, her loveli
ness are beyond hte poets praise,
the sculptors skill, the painters pow
]
er, the orators eloquence.
Her gentle influence stands high |
above all things else in the potentj
power that makes and moulds mans j
destiny, her image is in the heart !
and brain of all the mighty workers ■
of the world.
Oh Mother htou art indeed the!
last and best of all Gods gifts, j
Thou art with us always from the
cradle to the grave. Thou dost en
dow the dimpled babe with the
measureness wealth of a Mother’s
love, at thy knee we learned to lisp
our earliest prayer, thy gentle, pat
ient love dispelled all our little
ills in the happy days of childhood,
in youth thou wert our sweetheart,
the purest, gentlest memory o!' our
world, in manhood thou art the
sharer of all our triumphs and de
feats. in all our griefs and joys, in
all our ecstasies and tears. Oh
Mother thou art the inspiration,
the sweetness and the perfume of
life and when at last the grim con
queror stills our tired hearts, bend
above the coffined form of him
that is no more, upon “death pallid
lips thou dost give loves last and
holiest kiss.”
May GOD bless you Mother dear,
ever and always.

ABOUT FUTURE PLANS
of all, I want to take this opportunity to
1 thank our many patrons for their past and pres
ent business, and to announce that it is my intention
to conduct the business in the future along similar
lines of the past.
It will be my intent, at all times, to incorporate
nothing but the very best, and lots of that, in all our
bakery goods. I have been extremely fortunate in
obtaining the services of Richard Bock, a master
baker of Seattle, of more recent date Juneau. In
Southeastern Alaska is has been stated Mr. Bock
was the premier craftsman of all, being a most skill
ed bread and cake maker.
