JANUARY 1, 1913 



Holiday Greeting! 



I take this opportunity to thank my cus- 

 tomers and friends for the patronage, help, 

 and encourasement given me during the 

 last and former seasons. It has been my 

 aim to have you all feel that I have 

 sought, not your money alone, but your 

 good will and friendship as well. JNIy rela- 

 tions with you have been most pleasant, 

 and it is a satisfaction to know that possi- 

 bly I have rendered you some service. If 

 In the future I can help you in any way, I 

 shall count it a privilege to have your 

 calls. 



While any forecast of weather or crop 

 conditions necessarily involves elements 

 of uncertainty, the outlook for a good 

 honey-flow In the North Central States 

 the coming season could hardly be better. 

 An order placed now will insure having 

 the supplies on hand when needed, and 

 will avoid the possibilities of vexatious 

 delays when the rush Ts on. The Decem- 

 ber discount of 4 per cent is also a consid- 

 eration. 



May the Yuletlde bring you much of joy, 

 and the New Year hold in store for you 

 blessings manifold.
