While winged spirits, here and there,
The freight shadows muttering 50.
And 40 the shadows round me creep.
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from the further room
Comes. snow I lay ne down to Sleep"
And somehow with that little prayer
And that sweet treble In my eafs,
My thoughts so bak to distant years.
And linger with the loved ones there;
And 90 I hear my child's Amen.
My mothers faith comes back to me
Crouched at her side seem to be.
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour In that dear place!
Oh, for the peace Of that dear time!
Oh, for that childish trust sublime!
Oh, for q glimpse Of mothers face!
Yet, Al the shadows round me creep,
I do not seem to be alone
Magic sweet Of that treble tone,
And SNOW lay mo down to Sleep"

Toledo, O., July 20. 1908. The Holsman Automobile Co.,. .a
 Chicago, Ill.
 Gentlemen: The writer and Mrs Dosson have now driven our No. g over HOO miles and to say that its actions are simply perfection does not. we think, exaggerate in the least-the car has never given us one single minutes trouble. While any man will have a little trouble, perhaps, to start with, in fact, unless he is sensible man and follows the book furnished with the machine, he may have lots of it, but when he learns that you have made this machine to run and be of actual service and not as joke or plaything, it will be with him the same as it is with the writer-he will honestly say from the bottom of his heart that the Holsman is by far and away the best automobile made on this continent, barring none. That is exactly the way we feel about it. We have now driven a Holsman machine of the different types more than 1000 miles and while, as you well know, we had to learn, for the last 1000 or 1500 miles it has been great pleasure to us. The roads we have gone over have been sometimes good, but never in one single instance have we stopped for any kind of roads, good or bad, and never once have we failed to go through. We have not in the last 1000 miles run low gear to exceed five miles all told. This low gear on the Holsman8 is all nonsense. except in emergencies. We have gone through sand that horse had to pull like sixty to get light buggy through and have made it on high gear. We can average 20 miles an hour every day in the year with Holsman. As far as repairs go, they are simply not worth men, tioning. We burned out few bear ings for want of oil to start with, but during our last 5000 miles we have not spent single cent for repairs. Last fall I became dissatisfied with the Holsman prices and decided to buy some of the lower priced machines. l visited five separate factories building so-called high-wheeled machines and l did not find single instance where they interested me at all. l can truth fully say there is only one high wheel machine and I shall always drive the very best-a Holsman. The wealth fest people in our city are now becom- ing convinced that the Holsman is the best, was the best, and will continue to be the best American-made auto mobile. Your company knows the writer well enough to know that we are not fatterers and mean what we say and also being owners of the largest retail carriage house in the state of Ohio, does not deter us from giving credit where credit is due. You deserve credit for the modern and sue cessful invention you have given the American people.
