Attention Mr. Dick ?ohnson
Centl men:
In the Iriday, "arch 300. , edition of the South fend Tribune there appears
an advertisement cc] line Qr bids to be recei ved by ^-pril 16th . , for two street sweep-
ers.
In view of the fact thpt we " Pve made incueries from time to time regarding
the possi-b 7 ity of interesting the city n street cleaning equipment, and were told
pt the "ity w ps without fin-nces PM could make no purchases, we were greatly sur-
prised to see this advertisement appear.
We are a South Bend concern, are tax -payers, anc employ local labor. he
manufacture street flushers, which are user for street cleaning purposes, are conceded
to be the most economical e nC sanitary machine on the market, end are used exclusively
in some our la rpest cities like ashingtor_ and Philadelphia. The City of hew Fork
own three hundred street flushers nnc e0ou` ten sweepers.
In our opinion, because we are a local concern, we feel that we should have
been consulted and our product investigated before the Oity decides upon a purchase.
We are bring this mo tter to lour attention, with the idea of our receiving
some consideration on street cleaning equipment that may be purchased by the City of
South EenO. -
Yours very truly,
I:_un i ci pe 1 Supply Compa n y
