My Dear Sir.

probation OF one OF your business
methods. that OF accompanying each
package OF your Grape Nuts produc-
tion with that little booklet The
Road TO Wellvile." A more appro

sentaiion of health giving auto-sugges

greed and strenuousness. the conse-
qrent graft and other types Of thiey-
cry and malicious mischief generally
can never be cured by legislative ac-
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 foi
othcrA concerns until finally the whoe
country gets favored with genuine
practical Christianity
Il shall do all that lies in my pow
er to aid IN the appreciation OF Crane
Nuns. not so much for the sake Of he
food itself as for the accompanying
suggestions.
Visiting Battle Greek the other day
with a friend. Or Kelly OF Evanston
Illinois. while ! was consulting with
Mr. Gregory. my friend visited yonf
factories and came away greatly
amazed. not only at the luxurious fur
nishings OF the Offices generally anc
the general equipment OF the place
but with the sweet spirit OF courtesy
and Kindness that seemed to OH tie
air with a spiritual ozone that was
good 10 breathe.
The principles expressed In ne
little booklet. The Road 10 We'll
Vile. ! well know are practical ana
they work In business Of all kinds. IN
Guiding sanitariums. as will be fairy
tested before time is done.
II know you will not regard this le'
ter Of appreciation "a an intrndlng
one II is simply the salutation OF
good fellowship to you from a man
who. although he has never seen you.
feels drawn to you by the kinship OF
thought.
The only thing that makes a man
live forever in the hearts OF his couh'
Irymen and his race is the good that
he does. Your position In this respect
IL an enviable one and wish to ef
end my congratulations"
Yours respectfully.
