Scope and Content

Letter written on the Hotel Warner Park and Colonial letterhead regarding the Peerless Bread Making Co. PO made but [?] Fx before acknowledging 1/31/25 Gentlemen:- Enclosed find order for One Type B Peerless Mixer Tmo Bavrell at $579.00 for the Masters Daugherty Co. of Warren Ohio. Arrived at Tus as follows: Price of New Machine 754.00 Allowance on old Mach 175.00 Balance 579.00 Mr. Daugherty who gave the order not only stated on what terms he would do business but had a copy of an order at his desk that the Triumph salesman had made out for him to sign and he said we could take it or leave it. You will notice that I wrote in 5% less for cash in 15 days after delivery. That was the only way they would sign it. He was very testy about the whole matter and there was no argument as he just simply waved everything aside and said that was the only way they would place the order. After talking to you over the telephone I called him and told him that it was confirmed and will you kindly do the same from the office. They will be in the market for a moulder in may or June and say they will give us first chance at the business if this deal proves satisfactory I enquired of four Banks here and at each place they said that Mr. Daugherty had the cleanest record of any business man they knew and that his word was good for anything that he wanted. One bank went so far as to say that they would take his plain note for $100,000.00 and they all said sell him anything that I could. Gunlefinger & Kingensmith of the Federal Bakery want packing shipped immediately for Type B 1 ½ Bbl Mixer. as per my order over the phone so has been made New System Bakery- Mr. Jeffers owner went into the hands of the receiver here on Tuesday off list Could do nothing with International Baking Co. on Moulder because one partner is in hospital. They will not talk business until he is out Sincerely yours, Paul Carothers
