Scope and Content

THE • NEW • ENGLAND • COLLECTORS • SOCIETY PROMPT PAYMENT REQUESTED Dear Friend: Enclosed is your invoice for the first payment of the reproduction of James Earle Fraser's "End of the Trail" sculpture. Your prompt payment will assure earliest shipment of this fine art reproduction and a desirable low serially numbered Certificate of Registration. The enthusiastic response this sculpture has generated promises to make it one of our most popular limited editions. I have personally examined the final foundry casting. The most exacting specifications have been utilized to produce each "End of the Trail" sculpture. Each reproduction will be created in cold-cast bronze - a medium that enables the casting of even finer detail than the traditional hot-cast method. Once your casting is completed, it will be hand finished with a rich patina. And, of course, in keeping with the true meaning of limited edition, each sculpture will be serially numbered and the edition will be limited to a total of 9,500 pieces worldwide. To receive your "End of the Trail" sculpture, all you need to do is return your first installment payment of $49.50 with the enclosed invoice in the postage paid envelope provided. Or, for your convenience, you may charge this and future installments to your MasterCard or Visa account. To do so, simply provide your account number and expiration date on the back of the enclosed invoice, and we will bill your account accordingly. Act now and be among the first to receive this extraordinary work of art! Sincerely, Barbara Shelnitz Account Supervisor EOT:ae P.S. You will be invoiced on a monthly basis for the balance due. If you are not completely satisfied with your sculpture, you may return it upon receipt for replacement or immediate refund. 237 SAW MILL ROAD, WEST HAVEN, CONNECTICUT 06516 203-9Al-R496 NE The New England Collectors Society - THE END OF THE TRAIL SERIAL# 01387 Acct.
