It is with pardonable pride that we present our 
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY catalog. Not a long period of time in the 
world's history—but it is in the lifetime of a business. We have tried to 
adhere to the policy laid down by the founder fifty years ago—strict 
honesty—fair prices—real service—and we shall continue to do so. 
There are many obstacles still to be overcome today—shortages of 
some items—transportation delays, etc. We know you will understand— 
and make allowances if, at times, things go wrong. When such is the case, 
we want to be advised—and will do our utmost to correct and adjust. 
We hope we may continue fo merit the good will of our customers— 
our friends—in the next fifty years as we have in these past.
