GREETINGS 1942
JOYOUS SEASON

For Christmas comes but once a year and when it does come,
we want it to come with all the old-fashioned trimmings that
make this season so joyous.
Thanks, one and all, for your kindness to us during 1942.

CAMP SAVERS ASKED
TO MAKE PAYMENTS
YMCA Camp Savings boys are
asked to make payments on their
accounts during the holidays. Ask
your friends to help you go to camp
next summer by giving you a stamp
or two which you can purchase any
time at the YMCA, 1217 Bagby
street. Parents are advised that
this is a good way to teach your
boys thrift and self reliance. Pay-
ments may be made at the Y of-
fice or handed to J. C. Ramsey or
E. A. McMillan, boys’ work secre-
taries.
It is merry Christmas for the employees of Mattie’s cafe and bar
as Sid Hillard presents each of them a war bond as a Christmas gift.
In presenting the bonds, Mr. Hillard thanks them for their faithful and
trustworthy service that they have given since the early start of the
business that has grown into one of the best in the city. Receiving the
bonds for the staff is Ida Scott, famed chef, who presented them to
Robert (Uncle Bob) Sparks, Helen Pennywell, and Theresa Boyd, Benis-
ter (Whiskey) Herford loaded with gifts looks on. The disgusted expres-
sion is due to the fact that he isn’t allowed to open them ‘til Xmas.
Mrs. Mattie Hillard at extreme left looks on at the presentation.
Mr. and Mrs. Hillard and their staff of Mattie’s Cafe with their
patrons and friends a Merry, Merry, Xmas and a Happy New Year.

Integrity in little things has helped us, too
—has earned for us, we believe, the com-
plete confidence of this community, not
only in 1942, but in other years. At this time
we want to thank you for this confidence,
and to extend to you every good wish for
a Merry Christmas.

their own Marian Anderson in Phy-

amateur show held at the Post
