POKEN OR WRITTEN', there is no more
cheering greeting than the age-old Hol
iday salutation “Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year.”
It is a greeting of friendliness that warms the
heart and brings friends closer to each other, no
matter how far distant they may be. It is the thought
ful expression of regard that one man has for an
other—the salutation of understanding and in all
lands the manifestation of kindness among friends
and kindred.
It is a greeting that interprets for us the true
meaning of Christmas and the New Year—the entire
Holiday Season.
So as the Holidays approach again, it is our
sincere and hearty wish that yours will be a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
