WAR AND PEACE. 
To our Friends and Customers in the Trade ahs 
It was exactly twenty-seven years ago to- 
day that I sailed from New York on the White 
Star Liner “Baltic” for overseas duty in 
World War 1. That was a great adventure, 
terminating in the allied nations’ victory. 
Increasing and prosperous business was en- 
jJoyed for more than a decade after the war. 
Today we are nearing the end of World 
War 2. Many of our sons and close relatives 
are in the armed forces. My own son, William. 
Flemer, 3rd, is with the U. §. Engineers in 
France, having landed there a few days after 
the invasion started. His letters tell of terrific 
destruction in some places, whereas other 
places are untouched. 
As this is being written, the War in Europe 
is progressing very rapidly. No one can set 
the date for the cessation of hostilities. After 
this, of course, there will be the Japanese sit- 
uation to clean up. However, the worst of the 
struggle should be over. eis 
When peace comes the nation can look for- — 
ward to a period of great prosperity. We, here © 
in Princeton, have kept our production up and ©
