Friends:

few weeks ago you read in this paper an announce
ment of the "War Management" of the Charles LuIins
Auto Company. This the occasion of the de
parture of our president Charles LuknS for service in
the United States Army.
1t is now our privilege to that we have with
out warning, been given by the Cadillac Motor Car
Company, 80 days notice that August 10th our dis
trbutors contract for the Cadillac car in this territory
would be terminated.
few facts concerning our administration of Cadillac
sales and service in Tulsa and the conditions which
brought about the present crisis might be of interest
During the past year. and with due consideration for
the solid foundation laid by predecessors have
increased the volume of Cadillac business in Tulsa
than 1907 We have exceeded our quota of cars agreed
upon with the Cadillac factory the beginning of the
year. We have, also, in opinion, improved our
Service Department appreclaby, and have rendered
Cadillac service equal probably to that of any agency
in the country And to use the words of prominent
banker in this city. "It would be hard put of
the Cadillac class better hands than has been done by
the Charles, Lukns Auto Company"
On April lst, 1918, we discontinued the agency of a
cheaper car (which during the 1917 season was very
protabe) Since that time we have renewed our lease
on the most desirable corner in the city at greatly
increased rental Both of these steps had the approval
and encouragement of the Cadillac district representa-
tive. We were discouraged in taking the agency for
or handling any other product in fact in mild, yet

convincing manner led to concentrate everything on the
Cadillac account
On June lst, Mr. Charles LuknS was called to the
colors and is now at Camp Nichols, La. Three weeks
later. our sales manager. Philip X. French was also
called and is in service at Camp Travis Texas The
Cadillac Motor Company was advised, months before,
Of the expected departure of these men, yet no word of
protest heard the policy or personnel of the
"War Management"
Now in less than two months after our President and
Sales Manager have gone to do their Bit and in spite
of the fact that the month of June 1--WE have been fur
nshed no cars since July lt enjoyed the best bust.
in the history of the company. agency with
investment of many thousands of dollars, and the most
intense work and patience, is confscated 50 days
notice. We are advised that this territory to be given
to a new company organized by the above mentioned
district representative 1t also rumored that promi
nent Cadillac official is to be more less silent partner
1t is hard to believe that company whose product is
upheld as the STANDARD of the World would be guilty
of such an act but is evident that ruthless sinkngs"
are reality as much on land as at sea- regrettable
that the proud "Standad should be lowered by cupid
ty on the part of those whose duty safeguard it.
Prohteerng the expense of soldiers and sailors in
disfavor.
This company will continue in business at the old stand
with a credltable line which will be announced within
short time. Our business has been made success on
a basis of honorable and square dealing and we will
continue in business on the same basis.
