THE ATLANTA GEORG'AN AND NEWSt MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1911.
68 Washington Square, New York.
•Dear Mr. Ligon—Just as I was leaving the office tonight, I saw a Mark 85,
six-passenger car, painted reseda gray, stop at the corner of Broadway and Six-
ty-flrst-st., and I recognized it to be your customer, Mr. Rogers. I welcomed him
and showed him where to leave the car, and then piloted him to the Martinique
hotel, where his party had registered.
They were very enthusiastic over the performance of the car in the long,
hard trip, and they described the going as something terrible, due to the tremen
dous rains that have fallen in the past week. They had been down to the hubs in
mud, had climbed Virginia mountains that other cars had been pulled up with
block and tackle, and they hadn’t had any trouble, not even tire trouble.
"I think the faco that my seventeen-year-old son drove this big Columbia
car all the way speaks high praise for the car, since we had no trouble of any
kind,” said Mr. Rogers. The son was likewise enthusiastic. He had been stopped
once on the road, he said, and this was to allow some water to drain out of the
carburetor. When the new gas got into the cylinders she ran again, as before,
like a bird. - ; 8*031oD

Mr. Rogers has asked us to look over the car in the morning, which we will,
of course, be pleased to do; but certainly from the quiet purr of the motor and
the stories of the power shown, it would, not appear that anything is needed to
be done.
Mr. Rogers is going from here to Kingston, N. Y., and thence through the
Berkshire hills of Massachusetts down to the Atlantic coast,' and then up the coast
to Maine, where they purpose to stay all summer.
I am very glad to advise that Mr. Rogers reports our system of motor venti
lation so good that no heat was felt on the feet or legs in the front seats, even
when in completely wooded mountain country, with the thermometer at 107 on
Sunday last. We have felt that this would be so, but here is an actual demon-.
stration.
Very truly,
DAYTON.
