Dear Mr. ‘Allen:

Your letter of the 28th received in regard to sending your
Golf shoes and your tan street shoes to the factory for repairs. Direct
from you to them. I am indeed sorry but they will not accept them that way
as that has been tried before by a man here that is head of the postoffice
near the Union Station. The factory only deals with the merchant selling their
shoes and we have to send all shoes in and then the repair work is charged to
our accounte The only way I can handle you case is for you to send the shoes
to me then I will send them to the factory and then I will have them sent
direct to you from the factory. That way they will do it, but no other waye

So far it has been impossible for me to get charts from the
factory due to the fact they only make up by order just enough to service
the shops they sell shoes toe I have to sign a contract a year in advance
to get the signs you see displayed on the walls of my shope So I will do my
very best to get some for you but I am doubtful if I will be able to get
theme You see the factory sell me these big signs for $5.00 for the three
big signse They say that is what the signs cost them from the sign shop in
Chicago who make them for the factory. So it is going to be very doubtful if
I will be able to get any for youe

At one time the factory advertiseing man told me that if he sent
ut these big oe to every one that wanted them they would spend over
100.000 a year for just signs. They say that they cant do as it would break

theme But I will try to get some results for youe ee oe p
