For the valued patronage of our
many customers who have enabled us'
to make of our business an institu-
tion of genuine service.
Just as the New England colonists
of many years ago bowed their heads
in a reverent service of Thanksgiv-
ing for the bountiful blessings of the
Great Creator, so do we at this time
express our gratitude.
On this occasion, a day set apart
for thanksgiving and praise to God
for the mercies of the year past, we
sincerely hope you will have many
things for which to be grateful.

But to “SOLE OWNER” They Mean More
You of Electra have made many days thankful to us. Now we put them all together and’ are
happy .to tell you that we do. not measure the depthc of our thankfulness because it is bottomless.
We do not measure the volume because it cannot be compassed. We do not select the superlative
in each of its tones for to do it would make a picture to express every emotion as “Sole - Owner”
turns all the pages of the past year. He is thankful for each page.
To You and to Everybody Who Should be Thanked “SOLE OWNER” Says
This is Our Thanksgiving
