The only thing that I have to 
complain about is that they did not 
leave me space for my letter. But 
I believe that you are mostly inter- 
ested in what I have to sell and 
not in me. However, I do like to 
pass along some of the worth-while 
things that I have learned in my 
sixty-six years of experience. 
As paper is very scarce again 
this ‘year, you will do me a favor 
and your friends also, if you will 
share this catalog with them. 
Yours for a successful year, 
J. C. WELCH
