Used One Split Hickory 8 Years—Buys Another 
I received my buggy in excellent condition. I am well pleased with it. It came through in fine shape 
and is all I expected it to be. 
I am well pleased with the harness. I bought a buggy from you some six or eight years ago, and it has had 
very hard usage. It is in good shape today and will last a long time yet if properly cared for. I purchased this 
buggy for my son and daughter as well as for myself, and am now in my 80th year, and my wife and I shall en* 
deavor to take all the rides and pleasure we can with it. I will do all I can in recommending your vehicles. 
Yours truly, E. S. TRACY, Greene, Iowa.
