"Los Angeles, Cal.
The Honorable Board of City Trustees,
E1 Segundo, Calif. -
Gentlemen:-
I ij
y-
Dec. 5, 1917.
In view of the fact that we have figured very close on all of the
bids that we have submitted, we reserve the right to withdraw our cruo-
tations if not acted upon by January 1st, for the reason that factory
1�rices are constantly advancing and we have already been informed that
advance on rollers and searifiers will take effect on January 1st.
In fact we are unable to promise delivery on any rollers except the one
we have enroute to Los Angeles and if this machine is not accepted we
want to be free to offer it to other purchasers.
We propose to furnish all or any part of the ecuipment we are
bidding on, F.O.B. E1 Segundo in good conditicn, guaranteed first
class inevery respect. We also agree to furnish an experienced roller man
to instruct your engineer in operating the same.
This roller and scarifier are both guaranteed to be made of the
best material and workmanship and we agree to furnish without charge any
part that may break by reason of poor material within one year from date
of delivery. This roller is too well known in California to take m
time in describing; and we are sure that it is adapted to the kind of
work you have to do and if after a thorough trial it is not satisfactory
we will accept the return of it without any e;:pense to you.
;Ve are enclosing catalom- es and specifications of the different
machines. However we believe it will be necessary for the writer to
meet with you and take up the different bids and explain them ir. order
that it may be plain to you what we are Quoting on before You make a
decision.
Trusting that we may be favored with your order we remain,
C ,9P HVG"
Yours very truly,
A. L. Young Ifa.chinery Company.
