IT IS THE CUSTOM AT this season of the year, when business men are preparing to enter on the duties and responsibilities of a new year, to return thanks to their friends and patrons for the "liberal" patronage bestowed during the old year. We are here to say that we are thankful for the custom; but wo assure our friends and patrons that in returning our thanks, custom does not enter into the matter at all, because wo feel that we should be written down as ingrates if we did not return thanks at the closing of 185)7, custom or custom. During the year many new friends have been added to our list in the various branches of our business, rtnrJ %??o arn rrrutofiil In tllOin Ollfl Hmihlv grateful to theoid friends who have been with us for a longer period than during the past year.

"Happy New Year to All." It would be a gross dereliction of duty, should I fail to acknowledge my gratitude to the great legion of friends who have expressed their> confidence in me by practical example at my counters during 1897, which contributed so largely to my support in maintaining my position on the Watchtower of Fashion, and with what ease it was done can only be determined by an appreciating and discrimina1 ting public. As to the mysteries of the future I can say nothing ; but so far as lies in my power, no obstacles shall come in the way to merit your patronage and retain your confi dence in the future. Again thanking you for your patronage for 1897, I wish you i all a happy New Year, attended with unbounded prosperity for 1898. Mrs. T. M. DOBSON. | FIRE INSURANCE.
