Gentlemen:-
In reply to your inquiry relative to my Model A car, I am pleased to say that I am the owner of a 1929 Model A Tudor, which I purchased from your company.
I have driven this car 22,423 miles and I find that it is, indeed, very economical on gas and oil and upkeep. I drive this car from forty-five to fifty miles per hour continuously and find that it will do everything that I could hope for a car to do.
This is the second Model A that I have purchased from your company, the first being a 1928 Model A Tudor, which I drove approximately 15,000 miles.
Mrs. Mardis enjoys driving the Model A because it handles easily and rides comfortably over all kinds of roads. We find the Model A always ready to go.
Service rendered by the Brooker Motor Company has been satisfactory at all times.
Very truly yours,
