NEW ORLEANS, April 27, 1917.

_Dear Sirs:_ I have been engaged in the hotel business for
eighteen years. And I am personally acquainted with at least
fifty of our leading citizens of your city. And in my home I
would refer you to Mr. ----, asst. Depot Ticket agent of the ----
R. R. He told me that any corporation that was in need of Labor
and placed passes with them for the same, that they would haul
the people. I could furnish you at least one thousand in the
next sixty days. And you will not have sixty dead beats. I will
furnish the names, and each pass should have the name of the user
on it before leaving Chicago. The greater number that I know have
families and do not wish to leave without them. Let me hear from
you at once. I can give you the business and my people will go
any where sent and do any kind of work, if the wages are right.
