Transcription

56 Highland Circle Bronxville, New York October 1, 1938. Dear Bill: I am bothering you to see that Aunt Grace gets this second letter. Thank you so much for the wonderful description of your experiences in your recent two demonstrations. I certainly think Good Year [sic] didn’t know what was good for them when they staged a demonstration an hour after yours. It was most amusing to hear about it. Thanks loads for letting me share in the fun as well as the exhilaration of being impressed anew with the amazing qualities of this tube and tire. I really believe in another ten years there may be practically no cars sold without these puncture proof tires. I think these patents are the biggest assets that the Seiberling Rubber Company holds today. Love to you all – Devotedly your sister,
