Dear Sir and Brother:
Attached is a form letter which
this office recently mailed to all out
side or Lineman's Unions in the
United States. We received no re-
plies from your city and again take
the liberty of bringing this to your
attention.
We do produce and market a
mighty fine lineman's glove made
in a union shop by A. F. L. crafts
men and ladies.
This glove was designed by the
writer, who organized this business
because as a lineman he was unable
to obtain a good union-made glove.
Any assistance you can render
along the line of starting this glove
in your city will be deeply appre-
ciated, and l am sure the linemen
will thank you for assisting them
to find a glove of such high quality
and low cost that still carries the
A. F. L. label.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
The Service Company, Chas. F..
Hogan, Mgr.
