Gentlemen:-
In reply to your inquiry in regard to my Model A car, I am pleased to say that I am the owner of a 1930 Model A Coupe , which I purchased from your company.
I have driven this car 6,650 miles and find it to be very economical on gas and oil consumption, and upkeep.
I previously owned a 1929 Model A Coupe, which I also purchased from your company, and which I drove approximately 25,000 miles. Due to the fact that the 1929 Model A gave me such wonderful service, I was thoroughly convinced that that was my choice of transportation.
Just recently I was obliged to make a trip to Nebraska, and near Beatrice, Nebraska, I encountered a terrific snow storm. The snow was drifting badly, which made traveling very difficult. There were a dozen or more cars trying to get through the drifts, and the Model A which I was driving was having less difficulty than any of the other cars. In fact, this was so noticeable that I was put in the lead with my Model A to break the road, and after I had accomplished this the other oars behind we were still having lots of trouble getting through.
My Model A is always ready to go, and I have so much confidence in it that I would not hesitate to start at any time on a trip regardless of distance or weather.
Permit me to say, that the Model A will "GO PLACES" and "DO THINGS".
Service rendered by the Brooker Motor Company has been, indeed, satisfactory in all respects.
Very truly yours,
