 Gentlemen:— 



Answering your letter relative to the merits of your dry kiln 

 process, in comparison with that of the present kilns. 



Your process installed by us in an old rattle-trap of a kiln was 

 successful. We were much pleased with the results. 



In early part of 1909 our entire plant was destroyed by fire. We 

 wrote you for plans for a new kiln. You were dilatory in getting 

 plans to us. We were persuaded by other kiln people to install 

 their process. 



Res"'ts= „., . . . ,, J 



Present system with us is not a success. This system installed 



in an entirely new, air-tight brick building, under what should be 



very favoiable conditions, does not give us results that we secured 



with your syslem in the old rattle-trap kiln. 



In our judgment, resulting from our experience with the two 

 systems, they should not be mentioned in the same breath. 



Unless we can find some way of getting better than present 

 results from this system, we will be after you in a short time to 

 install your process on top of the same. 

 Yours veo' truly.
