ROBERTS IMPERIAL CANDY COMPANY SEATTLE, WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT | | ! i i Dear Friend: = In 1931 I wrote a Christmas letter in which I said: “This year most of us are poorer in material things but l richer in spiritual values. Adversity has made us ] stronger business people but gentler human beings. We ] are closer to the truths of life.” | ! % | ] By contrast to the dark years of 1931, '32 and ’33, these years look much brighter for business progress. That this is true is my earnest hope as doubtless it is yours. But with this hope let us, at this season of the year, couple the wish that we bring into this new era the riches gained ‘in adversity. Let us continue to be richer in spiritual values, gentler closer to the truths of life. As the twenty-nine business years in this company have passed over my head, I have seen stocks rise and fall, money values wobble, empires and kingdoms topple, and the map of the world changed. 1 do not believe so firmly, now, in the great material things of the world. Honesty, kindliness, and friendship are the most substantial things, I have found. In that spirit 1 extend to you and yours our best wishes of the season. Sincerely, CHESTER E.

Dudley Albert L. Fisk Mrs. Mabel Schmitz Effie Fleek Margaret J. Griffin Lee Smith, Jr. - e e PRSI f From The Empire i 20 YEARS AGO DECEMBER 31, 1915 At midnight the residents of Ju- neau and Gastineau Channel are to witness the passing of the old year and the coming of the new. Never has a year dawned on this section with a promise prighter than that of 1916, and never have Gas- tineau Channel residents witnessed the passing of a year that fulfilled the promise of its dawning better than 1915. During the past year mining made better progress than ever before building has been steadier, and busi- ness in general better. Over 100 residences have been erected in the city within the past year, while in the immediate sub- urbs, parts of the Casey-Shattuck Addition, the Seatter Tract, Nelson Park addition, and others, as many more have been constructed. Most of these were taken into the city limits in the annexation of Dec. 20. Among the notable residences erected during the past year might be mentioned those of Mrs, Mae Rhodes, I. Sowerby, James A. Mc- Kanna, Earl L. Hunter, A. A. Hum- frey, Eli Lindstrom, Nels Sorby, the five B. M. Behrends cottages, James McCleskey, John R. Willis, Ray Day, Al Lundstrom, Miss Lena Kippen, Patrick Lynch, George K. Gilbert, Andrew Lagergren and others. Among the notable business and semi-public buildings might be men- tioned the Arctic Brotherhood build- ing, which cost $25,000, the Gasti- | neau Hotel Annex, costing $30,000, the Juneau General Hospital, cost- ing $30,000, the Government Native Hospital, costing $10,000, the Fem- mer and Ritter dock building, cost- ing $3.000, the new telephone ex-| change, costing $1,380, the repairs to the Orpheum Theatre, costing $2,000. the McMillan building, costing $3,000 ' and others. | The coming of the new year will| be observed in various ways. The Arctic Brotherhood will hold a big housewarming. There will be dances at the Moose, Hippodrome and the Treadwell clubs. On New Year's| Day the Masonic orders will hold | an open reception in the I. 0. O. F. | Hall. Horoscope “The stars 7acline but do not compel” WEDNESDAY, JaNUARY 1, 1936 Mingled good and evil planetary nfluences are discerned today, ac- sording to astrology. The new year Jegins with a forecast of extremes of good and evil. Jupiter is in a place presaging im- oroved business conditions and real yrosperity. This is an auspicious sway for making ambitious plans as vell as good resolutions. Neptune frowns on those who irink to future good fortune. The wise will partake sparingly of cock- :ails, lest they prove treacherous. Accidents appear especially num- >rous under this direction of the stars. All who celebrate should pick .heir chauffeurs with discretion. Aged persons are fortunate today, sven though there is a forbidding aspect governing Townsendite hopes. In the evening the stars discour- age romance. The planetary govern- ment inspires home amusements that do not include outsiders, even Jhe usual steady Sunday evening 7isitors may not be welcome. An ill omen forecasts much suf- lering among the poor and many desperate deeds due to need. Rob- series will increase and organized crime will flourish under master ninds. Expansion among commercial and nanufacturing organizations is fore- .old. Foreign trade should increase, Jut labor troubles at various ports will continue. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of financial gain and journeys may be frequent. Jealousy should be overcome. Children born on this day prob- ably wil be ambitious and persever- ‘ng. These subjects of Capricorn are usually prudent, cautious and re- served.
