Conservation Trophy must rate 100% plus, and must maintain that percentage day after day, week after week, and month after month through the entire year. I congratulate you and I congratulate your exchange and your exchange manager, Mr. Krieger, and his office manager. Miss Schomaker, for the extremely high standing which they maintained throughout the entire year. I place the Trophy in your hand with the congratulations of the entire exchange organization of all the companies represented in the M.P.P.D.A."
