We are enclosing herewith a copy of blue print No. 157 ND 411 giving you general information

J. A. Fay & Egan Co.,

Front and John Sts., Cincinnati, Ohio. Gentlemen:

Received your telegram regarding installation and foundation of 20 HP engine for the Dalton

Electric Manufacturing Company, St. Louis, and in
25 reply wired you as follows: " Installation of foundation at St. Louis, eight weeks, fish-joint," which translated reads the same with the exception of the
50 last word, the last code word meaning that eight weeks is the last date that we can possibly promise shipment.

You understand from this that
75 we are willing to furnish the outfit for foundation, put in and erect the engine on the same, charging the customer all the expenses of foundation and
100 installation. In other words we want a clean net profit on this transaction of not less than $350.

We called the
125 factory up over the long distance 'phone; and they advise that they could not ship engine earlier than eight weeks after receipt of order.

Yours truly, (151)

The O. Armleder Co.,

32G Longworth St.,

Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Sir:

We have your favor of the 22d, advising us that the cylinder on your " Jack Of All Trades" is cracked, and beg
25 to say that we do not under stand this. All of these engines are tested at the factory before being shipped out, and are in perfect condition.50 The only solution we have for the trouble is that you failed to drain off the water and the engine froze up and burst. If
75 such is the case we shall, of course, expect to charge you for repairs.

We enclose herewith price list and descriptions of parts; and if
100 you will advise us just what you want, the matter will have our attention.

Yours truly, (116)

The Bullock Electric Manufacturing Co.,

East Norwood, Ohio. Gentlemen:

You wrote us the other day giving us information in regard to the price of the three and four horse power vertical engines, mounted
25 on wooden base.

We have misplaced your letter and would be glad to have you send us a copy of same.

Yours truly, (48)

The O. Armleder Co.,                                   

326 Longworth St.,

Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Sirs:

Replying to yours of the 3d, advising that you have inquiry for a gasoline engine, complete, for handling draw bridge 150 feet
25 long, would say: before the factory can figure on it at all it will be necessary for you to furnish blue print of the draw
50 bridge. When you get this, take the matter up with Beloit direct, sending them the print so that they can fill out with the necessary
75 machinery and proper size engine.

Yours truly, (84)

Messrs. Rischel & Jolly,

Roswell, New Mexico. Gentlemen:

We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. Wilson of the London house, referring to purchase of gas producer from Wiedenfeld Company, Louisberg,25 Germany.

Mr. Wilson states that Mr. Hobart handed him £28 with which to purchase producer, and when

Mr. Wilson came to make purchase
50 he found that the price he would have to pay was £52 10s, instead of £28. He finally made arrangements to get them
75 to make their price 2100 marks, less 58 per cent, F. O. B., Hamburg, London, or Antwerp, this price not including the
100 price of fire brake.

We wish you would advise us whether or not Mr. Wilson ought to have paid the additional price, for he has
125 made the purchase and will charge up the balance to us. Kindly let us hear from you promptly so that we can get the matter
150 straightened up.

Yours truly, (154)

Mr. E. H. Townsend,

Detroit, Michigan. Dear Sir:

We are enclosing herewith copy of letter that we have just written to the Cincinnati house regarding the contract you made with the
25 Detroit Electric Company for 20 HP vertical, for their exhibition at St. Louis. We would be glad to furnish this outfit if possible; but
50 as the time is now too short, we would suggest a 20 HP horizontal electric direct connected, which would be as satisfactory in every way. The
75 only thing is that it will take up slightly more room than the vertical.

We wired you on the 24th, regarding the same deal ;100 and the telephone girl has advised us that you promised to call and pay for the message which was sent C. O. D., 31125 cents, but that you have not as yet done so. Kindly give this matter your attention at once if you have not already done so.

We
150 trust that you will be able to get this matter adjusted and advise us promptly.

Yours truly, (167)

Modern Iron Works,

Quincy, Illinois. Gentlemen:

Replying to yours of the 22d, regarding the substitution of the Gladstone for the Edison battery, would say that we will circularize the
25 branches on the subject as soon as we receive your report on the comparative tests you are now making between the two different makes.

As
50 we understand, there should be no complaint, for the reason that the elements in both batteries are practically the same and the output, so far
75 as we have been able to tell, is as good in one as in the other.

Yours truly, (93)

The Warner Elevator Manufacturing Co.,

Cincinnati, Ohio. Gentlemen:

Referring again to your letter of the 8th regarding the " W " large gear with shaft and cam shipped to Pickayune, we would say
25 that our Railroad Department wrote you on the 9th advising you on what date the gear was originally shipped to the New Orleans & North
50 Western Ry. Co.

We have not yet received a reply to that letter of the 9th, neither have we received credit memorandum for
75 the defective gear.

Kindly attend to this matter as soon as possible.

Yours truly, (86)
