 Waterbury, Conn.
 Conference.-The writer begs re- spectfully to mention that we have re gently increased our capital stock, and propose to establish and operate our own rubber factory. In consequence of which, we take the liberty of ad dressing your association in anticipa- tion of securing desirable location.
 By way of explanation, our position since the inception of rubber tires has been that of .iobbers, during which time we have positively established an extensive trade throughout the United State and Canada. We may, without presumption, claim to enjoy the repu- tation of being the largest rubber tire jobbers in the country, having practi- cally required the exclusive output of vehicle tires from two mechanical rub Der concerns.
 We propose to manufacture sol,d cushion, automobile. and bicycle tires together with d representative line of mechanical rubber goods, the safe of which is absolutely assured.
 We contemplate either constructing a new building or leasing one already erected for manufacturing purposes. We shall require in the beginning d substantial brick building with an ap- proxmate floor space of from 35,0OO to 45O00 square feet. principally one story. with sufficient land adjacent for the ultimate erection of a factory with an aggregate floor space of 1o0,0OU square feet. Said building should be conveniently situated on a railroad in order that we may receive shipments of materials and coal delivered at the factory in carload lots.
 We anticipate requiring at least 100 employees at the beginning, and enter tain no doubt but that circumstances will necessitate increased facilities for production within one or two years. in which event we will undoubtedly re. quire from three to five hundred en- ployes. Such has been the history of practically all other companies. and we believe that. the future possibilities of our company compare facorably with those of any other rubber manufactur- CTS.
 We understand that your railroad and natural facilities are favorable to large manufacturing. In consequence we would be pleased to entertain a proposition from your board. We have under advisement fairly attrac- tive propositions from several highly diversified manufacturing cities in the Central and New England states agree ing to furnish suitable sites and water supply gratuitOusly Abatement of taxes for term of years. cash con sideration ranging from $1O.OO0 to S25,- GOO together with other less important Inducements. In addition to this. the various railroad companies have agreed to transmit the materials for our pro posed factory. together with its entire equipment at a very reduced rate.
 We would likewise entertain a prop 'Osition from some of your local capital ists agreeing to erect a factory suit able for our purpose on ten years lease. with an agreement on our part to purchase said building at a stipulat- ed price at the expiration of ten years should the erecting owner SOdesire. The machinery which we would require W cost approximately S40,O00. therefore. you can readily appreciate the fact mat the lessor would he fully protected at all times.
 It is our desire to have the factory completed and ready for operation on or before December first. therefore. we would greatly appreciate an immediate reply detailing the inducements you have to offer. if any. There is abso- lutely no doubt but that we can thor oughly satisfy you concerning our fi- nancial responsibility prior to the con summation of any arrangements.
 The rubber industry Is practically in its infancy, and we may without exag- geraton. state that the possibilities are unlimited.
 The margin of profit derived there from is considerably greater than that of other industrial enterprises. there fore. the possibilities of our success ir this regard are substantially certain.
 Assuring you of our willingness to furnish information. if desired. trus1- ing that we may be favored wtIh a prompt response. and thanking you in advance for the kindness, we remain,
 Yours very truly.
