"Your Business Is Related to Ours INCE 1684, when the first Euro- pean bank was founded in Venice, the story of the worlds commercial progress is the history of the development of banking. Since the founding of the Standard Bank of _ Canada in 1878, the commercial pro- gress of many of this country's most ful business h is closely identified with the services of this in- stitution.

Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts. This batch will keep for just one year. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time (so many persons spoil the entire lot in this way), but prepare one day at a time, as follows: Into each day put twelve parts of faith, eleven of patience, ten of cour- age, nine of work (some people omit this ingredient and so spoil the flavor of the rest), eight of hope, seven of fidelity, six of liberty, five of kindness, four of rest (leaving this out is like leaving the oil out of the salad--don't do it), three of prayer, two of medi- tation, and one well-selected resolu- tion. 'If you have no conscientious seruples, put in about a teaspoonful of good spirts, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a 'heaping cupful of good humor. Pour into the whole love ad libitum . and mix witha vim. Cook throughly in a fervant heat; gamnish smiles and a sprig with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness, and a Happy New Year isa certainty --HM.8. a few itain.
