The sun of a bright new day and a fine untouched new year.
A year full of promises of better things; of new tasks to
conquer, new hopes to fulfill. A year for work, a year for
service, a year of beginning again.
From an alarm clock to awaken you in the morning to a lantern
for the chores at night, we are here to serve you.
