     As the final month of ourlfirst &entury 
     
    
   
   
    
     We pause and reflect---A 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     draws to a close----e 
     
    
   
   
    
     WVlE look back over the years and feel a sense of respect for the 
     
     Holman' Tradition, which is linked so closely to that of our 
     
     1 Prince Edward Island. We reflect on the wisdom and -diligence of 
     
     our founder and his successors, who shepherded the steady growth of the firm 
     
     through years of depression, as well as, through years of abundance . . . . ' 
     
     we pause and pay tribute to these men of faith, wisdom and spirit. 
     
     EV E pause and pay tribute to all of our fellow workers . V. . it is only through 
     
     them that we have been able to help fulfill the needs, desires and 
     
     . comforts of our customers for the pa st one hundred years. It has given us a 
     
     sense of joy and satisfaction to have been able to be of service to you. 
     
      E are grateful for the friendship, support and confidence 
     
     vested in us by you, our customers . . . we fully realize that 
     
     were it not for this wholehearted friendship, supportand 
     
    
   
   
    
     confidence, Holman's could not have grown from a 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
       
     
       
     
       
     
       
     
       
     
       
     
        
     
    
   
   
    
     very small, modest beginning into the Nationally recogniz- 
     
     ed organization that it is today. 
     
      look forward to the future with faith and assurance, with cl 
     
     solemn determination to -continue the Holman tradition. 
     
     We know that only by giving the people of Prince 
     
    
   
   
    
     Edward Island honest, loyal and sincere service, will the 
     
    
   
   
    
     success of our Second Century be a certainty. '
