Chicago, Aug. 81, 1906.
Mr.. c. w. Post,
Battle Creek, Mich.
My Dear Sir:
Il write to express my personal ap-
probation of one Of your business
methods, that Of accompanying each
package of your Grape-Nuts produc,
ton with that little booklet 1.-The
Road to MELVILLE" A more appro-
pirate, clear headed and effective pre-
sentatlon of health-giving auto-sugges.
tons could scarcely be penned.
"Grape-Nuts Is a good food In itself,
but the food contained in this little
article is still better stuff. | commend
the practice because | know that the
greed and strenuousness, the conse-
quent graft and other types of thiev.
cry and malicious mischief generally
can never be cured by legislative &C.
ton.
The only hope for the betterment
of the race rests in individual soul
culture.
"In taking a step IN this direction
your process has been so original and
unique that IL must set a pace for
other concerns until finally the whole
country gets favored with genuine
practical Christianity.
81 stall do all that lies in my pow.
er to aid in the appreciation of Grape
Nuts, not so much for the sake of the
food itself as for the accompanying
suggestions.
Visiting Battle Creek the other day
with a friend, DR.. Kelly of Evanston
Illinois. while | was consulting with
Mr.. Gregory, my friend visited your
factories and came away greatly
amazed, not only at the luxurious fur,
nishings Of the Offices generally and
the general equipment Of the place,
but with the sweet spirit OF courtesy
and kindness that seemed to fill the
air with a spiritual ozone that was
good to breathe.
"The principles expressed in the
little booklet, The Road to Well.
WILLIE / well know are practical and
they work in business of all kinds, in
Guiding sanitariums, as will be fairly
tested before time is done.
II know you will not regard this let
ter Of appreciation as an intruding
one. II Is simply the salutation OF
good fellowship to you from a man
who, although he has never seer you
feels drawn to you by the kinship of
thought.
"The only thing that makes a man
live forever in the hearts of his coun.
trymen and his race is the good that
he does. Your position in this respect
is, an enviable one and l wish to ex.
tend my congratulations"
Yours respectfully,
