 Dear Sirs .*~My business is hunting-, trapping and guiding. Last year my canoe got smashed shooting 

 rapids and a friend of mine who had one of your boats let me take his for about two months and it got all kinds 

 of hard usage and I guided several parties in it. I answered enough questions as to who was the maker, 

 where made, and if it was any good, to fill a diary. I don't know whether any of them ever bought a boat 

 afterward or not but they all said it was just what they would like to have, and some of them saw a good test 

 of the boat with me and they all liked the boat. In my line of business I have to have a boat that will stand 

 hard usage and yours had some pretty hard trips and stood the racket O. K. It was a good ad for you and if 

 I had had the boat earlier, it would have been more so. 



Yours for luck,
