Strong Recommendation.

Dear Mr.. Howells:
should like the people of Oakley
to know of the great popularity of
the Whitney Brothers Quartette.
Having heard them, and followed
them many times, wish to say that
every place they appear they are
met with the greatest appreciation,
and return to many places several
seasons in succession. Too much
cannot be said in favor of their
work. They are today the most
popular quartette on the lyceum
platform. do hope the people of
Oakley will not fail to hear this num-
Der. With best wishes,
Yours most truly,
GERTRUDE MILLER.
