Chicago,-
DEAR SIR:-We have just received your esteemed order and
have entered same under our order number written opposite.
Please preserve this card and be sure and give this number if you
ever have occasion to write concerning this order.
It is our policy to ship every order just as quickly after it is
received as we can and we make every effort to do this. Ordinarily,
your shipment will leave our house within a day or two after re-
ceiving your order. Sometimes, however, causes arise in every
business which may cause delay in filling an order. Among hund-
reds of articles of bicycle equipment or sundries, some one article
may be temporarily exhausted and thereby delay filling the entire
order. An unexpectedly heavy rush of business may temporarily
exhaust some specification or put the office and shipping forces
several days behind. Also remember that it takes time for your
order to reach us and that merchandise shipments do not reach
destination nearly as quickly as letters. We make this explanation
so that in case there should be any delay in receiving your ship-
ment you will not be uneasy. You will BE SURE to receive it in
due course if you will exercise a little patience, and we will ask you
NOT TO WRITE unless there should be a serious delay.
Thanking you for the order and trusting you will continue to
favor us, we are,
Yours very truly,
MEAD CYCLE COMPANY.
