Dear Sir:
have read with considerable In
trrcst your articles regarding Pan
Motor Co. Of H. Cloud. MINI. In
View OF the fact that thcre arr 80
many people In Colorado interested
In this matter and also that you are
y representative Of t.ic Monte Vista
Stock 8alcs Investigating Commit
tee. I feel therc In certain informa-
ton you should give the public that
thsy may be able 10 Judge tho rclia-
bility OF your statements and insinu-
ations and compare them with state
ments msds public by Pan Motor Co.
for the reason that you seem 10 dis
credit the statements made by all
Committees and Organizations who
have reported favorable on Pan Mot
or Co. These include many high
class men throughout the United
8tates. Including State and County
omcials and representative business
men Of Colo. also the entire organi-
sation Of Pan Motor Co.
Flint. tell tho people who you are
and what your business Ia aud what
Il has been. going as far back ~ you
have into the life Of Pandolfo.
Second. your motive.
Third. who pays you for this work.
~ we'll a. the expense Of travel. ad-
vertisinE publicity. etc. etc.
Fourth. give names OF parties who
compose the Monte Vista Stock Sales
Investigating Committee. indicating
tho residence and business Of each
member. also indicate which men,
bers are Pan Motor Stakeholder.
Fifth. state II At the time you Wis
tied 81. Cloud for the purpose OF in
vestixating Pan Motor Co. you did.
or did not make thorough examina-
ton Of the books and records OF the
Co.. Also did you make examination
Of the buildings. State II you did 20
inside Of all principal buildings and
make examination. II so. who was
your guide?
Sixth. II would also be interesting
II you would state the basis for your
remarks before the Senatorial Com
mittee In Denver. that the farmers
OF the San Luis Valley had been
neeced out Of $1,000, 10000 by Fake
Stock Schemes.
1t is not my desire to start any
long drawn out controversy with you
and resort to mud singing and sar-
casm. 1t Ii my desire to give facts
to the people rs = fair minded busi-
ness man would give them. I be-
lieve In building. not tearing down.
l believe that the time Is past when
competition may be throttled by the
big interests. l also believe that the
people should have the right to de-
eide for themselves whether or not
they may own shares In the institu-
ton that serves them and produces
the things they need. also believe
that proper protection should be CIV
en- to the innocent purchaser Of
| stocks.
The energy and money you have
expended toward destroying Pan
Motor Co.. would have gone q long
way toward building up your own
community. (He whom the Gods
would destroy they first make madD
make known your motive, II 1t is
good and you are right. we are with
you. II your motive Is good and
your actions are wrong through lack
OF understanding. we will help right
you that you may be builder and
benefactOr to mankind.
You naturally expect the people
to believe the representations you
make and to disbelieve statements
made favorable to Pan Motor Co.
Tell the people who the Monte Visa
Stock Investigating Committee is.
and tell them why you are taking SO
much interest In the matter.
Publish this letter in full with
your answer In your Local Newspap-
er. Your failure to do so. shall be
proof to the writer that you are not
acting In good faith.
Respectfully,
GEO. A. NIDY,
