Julius Neil, Esq Cincinnati Sept 28/77

Dear Sir. In answer to your 25th? we herewith hand you prices of fine cut. Please read the printed matter carefully as it is just what we would write you. Although it is hit a short time since we first shipped goods ordered through the examples yet we are already receiving duplicate orders and we are not certain if you favor us with an order that when you have it introduced to your trade, though the signs you will find then the best selling goods in Paducah and that your first order will soon be followed by a second. We solicit your order by return mail so as to allow us time to have your name painted on signs. Yours Res? Morten Bros
