WE HAVE SENT THIS MESSAGE TO ¥09!

Cannon’s Christinas Message It is natural at the Christmas season to look back over many years; It is then we realize that friendship and friendliness play an important part in making* business life more thorougiily wholesome and enjoyable. Yet, it is then that we realize that our many pleasant business relationships make life a happy experience.

It is only natural, too, that we look upon all those we serve as our good friends ... and while between friends, it is hardly necessary to express one’s feelings, we are mighty glad that the Christmas spirit gives us an opportunity to pledge anew our friendship for you and to ex° press our gratitude for your goodwill...
