Handicapped in particular | ways, you and your lads fought the | fight in a mabmer which leit nothing | to be desired, and amply demonstrat- | ed the fact that everything being equal, the Kingston fire department stands the peer to-day of any in the province, a fact which can be justly regarded with pride by the citizens in general of the Limestone City. We also want you to feel that this comes in part from your old shop mates, who have watched vour success and advancement with pride and satisfac- tion, and who unite in wishing you many, many years of continued suc- cess and prosperity.'
