To The Farmers Friend Tractor Company
Earthworm City, Illinois
Dear Sir: I'm in a hurry I want a new main drive gear for my tractor.
This tractor was formerly owned by Joe Banks of Llano, Texas, and
bought by me at the auction after he died. The main drive gear in
the tractor has busted and I just been over and asked the widow Banks
where Joe used to buy parts for his tractors and she said she aint
sure but she thinks it was The Farmers Friend Tractor Company,
Earthworm City, Illinois. So please let me know if you are the
folks, and if so please send the gear at once. As I am in a hurry.
It is the main drive gear. It is the big bull gear in the back end
of the transmission that goes round and round and drives the tractor
excuse this paper as my regular business letter paper has not come
yet yours truly,
