Mr. G. E. Zippel
General Baggage Agent
Hoboken, N. J.
Dear Sir-
I am in receipt of your letter of this date, enclosing comprative statements of the milk business for the month of December this year and the same month a year ago, and one containing a statement of our business for the year 1903 as compared with 1902.
The showing made in both of these statements is a most excellent one and one I think we all have every reason to be pleased with. I sincerely hope the business of the coming year may show a furhter handsome increase. We certainly made no mistake when we took upon ourselves the handling of our milk business.
Yours truly,
W. Truesdale
President."
