A New Year’s Resolution
There is an old saying that New Year’s Resolutions are
made to be broken.
Not so. Since 1898 when Walter M. Dunlap founded the
firm, it has been our yearly resolution to continue to serve
our consignors to the best of our ability, to show no par
tiality, and to treat everybody fairly and squarely regard
less of market conditions.
That’s the way it’s been, and we intend to keep it that
way.
No broken resolutions for us that you can count on!
In the meantime, have a Good New Year! From all of us
to all of you.
