I Want to Write You 

 a Personal Letter 



—Will You Send Me Your Name and Address on a Postal Card? 



I want to tell you how Split Hickory Vehicles are sold direct to you from our factory — 

 saving you about iu'o on the cost of your vehicle. 



I want to tell you of our thirty day free trial offer. 



I want to tell you of our legal, binding guarantee for two years. 



I want to tell you how we .vere able to build up the biggest mail order vehicle business 

 in the world and of the great reputation we have made on the Quality of our work. 



I want to tell you about Split Hickory— and why it is far superior to any other material 

 used in Vehicle construction. 



I want to tell you all about our new factory; how the great demand for our Split Hickory 

 Special 550.00 Top Buggy has forced us to equip an entire factory for its exclusive 

 manufacture. 



I want to tell you how we select every piece of material that goes into this buggy— and I 

 want to explain, in detail, the 100 points of merit in the constraction of our Split Hickory 

 Special. 



I want to tell you why it is to your advantage to order from us a buggy made to your order 

 — a genuine, trade-marked Split Hickory Buggy— rather than to buy one from a factoiy 

 making cheap buggies under contract to be sold by mail order houses. Such buggies may 

 seem low in price— but in reality they are the dearest buggies a man can buy. 



Our 1906 Split Hickory Vehicle Book is just ofif the press 



I take great pride in the fact that it is the finest vehicle and harness catalogue ever issued 

 by anyone. It contains 180 pages and gives full description and price of over 100 styles of 

 genuine Split Hickory Vehicles ranging in price 

 from 535 up. 



Will you let me send you this letter? 

 Will you let me send you this 180 page 

 book free? 



It doesn't matter where or from whom 

 you are thinking of buying a buggy -it 

 won't do any harm to get my personal 

 letter and our catalogue before you buy. 

 You will then know what your buggy 

 ought to cost you. 



Split Hickory Vehicles are 

 used everywhere. We have thou- 

 sands of testimonials from every 

 state. 



Let me send you this letter, 

 and this new book. Address,
