Dear Sirs- Thanks for your inquiry for folder on tents and camping equipment. We are mailing you under separate cover, our folder which describes, and quotes prices on tents and camp equipment. You will note from the folder that we are now making the Tracer tent in an 8% ounce army duck, "Vivetex" treated, in a beautiful O.D. green shade, in addition to the Khaki waterproof twill used in the past- We are enclosing sample of both materials which are equally waterproof except that the army duck, besause of its heavier weight and strength, will give more satisfactory service. WILCOX tents show more hand tailoring and fine attention to details than any other tents on the market. Not having an agent in your vicinity we would be glad to offer you a special discount of 20"$ off on all items listed in the folder. We could make prom t shipment and would be very glad to have the pleasure of furnishing you a WILCOX OUTFIT. Yours very truly - THE M. I. WILCOX COW TAF.MCG-. Canvas Department - Manager.
