Real S pirit of Season CHESTER E. ROBERTS IMPERIAL CANDY COMPANY SEATTLE, WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Dear Friend: In 1931 I wrote a Christmas letter in which 1 said: “This year most of us are poorer in material things but 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 {o 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 thjs 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 in human dealings, closer to the truths of life. As the twenty-r.ine 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. I 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 I extend to you and yours our best wishes of the season. Sincerely, CHESTER E. ROBERTS. The B. M.
