| J. L. Metz Furniture Mfg. Co. | | 1461-1503 West 37th Street | | Chicago. | Mr. H. E. Poronto, 1305 First National Bank Bldg., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir:- If you will refer to our letter of September 30th, 1911 which was written shortly after our coming to the Central Manufacturing District, and now that almost four years have elapsed, it gives us exceptional knowledge of the many advantages of this wonderful District. Not alone, for the splendid location which as previously written, is easily reached from the downtown by street car within twenty to thirty minutes, but our experience in the receiving and shipping of cars has been of great satisfaction. Cars come and go with rapid dispatch and with much ease to ourselves. The District itself has been maintained beautifully, and truly, it is not only a source of satisfaction, but considerable pleasure to all those who are fortunate enough to be located in the finest manufacturing district of America. Not only the buildings, but the District itself being maintained in a manner rare to warehouse and manufacturing industries. May you continue to render to others the same generous service you have so liberally contributed to us. With our very best wishes for a still greater District, we are Yours very truly, /s/ J. L.
