Bellingham, Washington.

REFER TO OUR FILE NO Mr. O. D. Colvin, Vice Pres. & Mgr. Seattle Car Mfg. Co., Alaska Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Dear Sir

Your Hercules logging trucks are the best car for heavy logging that I have seen and we are now buying no other. My experience dates back twenty-five years and I am familiar with the old N.P. trucks and G.N. trucks which when put out in '93 were the best trucks made, and also the trucks manufactured in Tacoma, Seattle and by ourselves. We have had them all more or less in our trains for the last ten years and have opportunities to observe them under all classes of service. We have had less repairs and less trouble on account of hot boxes with your cars than any others. Our cars are all equipped with the Knight chock block which we find very effective and safe.

Yours truly,

LAKE WHATCOM LOGGING COMPANY. J J Donovan
