The merchants and bus- iness men, summing up their Christ- mas season Friday evening, _when streets and stores were filled with a holiday crowd intent on getting a few last presents for the people at home, found opportunity for thanksgiving: at the post office they had cleaned up the place after a record week of Christmas_sending and_receiving and were glad of it, and everywhere Christmas eve the spirit of the ap- proaching holiday was evident.

And at dinner today the pa- tients are zoing to discuss an excep- tionally fine menu, introduced by con- somme and leading up to roast turkey and cranberry jelly and then coming down gradually to mince pie and cheese and fruit and raisins and other things to make the inner man com- fortable and life worth living.

The announcement of the life insur- ance plan was made in the following letter: To the Employes of S. Kronig & Son: The remarkable development of our business is due to its popularity with its patrons. This popularity has come to us largely because you have taken a personal pride in the store and nat- urally therefore have shown an intelli- gent interest and courtesy in doing everything possible for each patron. Realizing that your interests and our own are so closely interwoven that whatever helps one helps the other, and for the purpose of further pro- moting and increasing the harmonious relations now existing between us, we have made an arrangement with The Equitable Life Assurance soclety whereby life insurance equal to & years salary will be given to each of our employes, from the youngest boy to the heads of this business, without any cost to you. S. Kronig & Son will pay all the premiums and the certifi- cates herewith given you will take ef- fect from the date thereon. In case of the death of an employe, his beneficlary will receive the amount of a years salary, provided of course that death occur while in the employ of S, Kronig & Son and during the continuance of the policy with The Bauitable Life Assurance soclety. Thanking you for the courtesy and efficlency with which you have recog- nized our mutual interests, and wish- ing you many years of increasing hap- piness, we remain, Very truly yours, S.
