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.
