J. Elmer Pratt, Esq., 



City. 

 Dear Sir: 



Some little time ago you 

 asked me how I liked the Chain - 

 less. I then told you that I 

 would tell you later. 

 Special Clipper Chainless No. 

 28,097, made by you two seasons ago. It 

 has been in daily use all of the time, and 

 to-day (with the exception of the tires, which 

 show the wear of 2,500 miles of riding) the 

 wheel is as good as new. As a matter of 

 fact, I would not care to exchange it for any 

 wheel that I know of, unless it might be 

 another Chainless Clipper. 



I have ridden it on all sorts and con- 

 ditions of roads, and in all weathers, and so 

 far I have never had occasion to put a tool 

 to any part of it, and not one cent has been 

 paid for repairs, for none have been needed. 

 In twelve years' riding, and always a "high- 

 grade" machine, I have never had so satis- 

 factory a mount as the one I have at present. 

 I am, as you know, under no obligations 

 to the Clipper people, and I say what I have 

 for one reason only, and that is, because I 

 think that a good thing should be appreciated 

 and the makers of the "good thing" thanked 

 for the efforts they make to produce it. 

 With best wishes, I am, 



Yours very truly, 



(Signed) F. W. Hunter, 



Mayor's Secretary.
