Mr. J. C. Petmecky: 



Dear Sir— I have just received the two g:un clean 

 ers, and I admire them very much. They are the 

 best thing I have ever seen. I have tried almost 

 everything imaginable, but this simple invemion 

 after using it has become indispensable with me. 

 For removing lead on the interior of gun barrels I 

 am quite certain its equal has not yet been pro 

 duoed. Most truly yours,

 truly, Dr. W. J. Carver.
