Would say that my rates for storing boats the size’of the ©

“Seminole” if you look at it right is only $2:50 per day

and not saying any thing about the size of your boat is

just-half the price of other. places Mr. A. J. Fay of Lowell

Mass A man that has four boats hear has on last Monday

brought his: Yacht “Freedom” 105 Feet long which now

is along side of your boat while this boat is not so large

in size’ it is a $75.00 per month boat I have been doing: .

business with mr. Fay for i8 years. Also fish boats like

. yours cost $25. 00. in other places while Ionly charge’ $9.00.

thease ‘prices is the same to all. Also in the: boom. period

I made no attempt to. take advantage of easy money and _

my prices stayed the same. In my 45 years in the boat ©

buisness, this is the sécond time any one has spoken of Es

prices: not being right.. I always have the same price to

all. Also I now have boats in hear that has been hear for

‘six years some four years always paying the same price:

as people know _they are geting the lowest rates that can ©

be had -I hope you will look into. thease rates and I think

you will find that I am not taking any advantage of any

one but giving them the service by keeping thear boats in

goed condation and trying to please every one in the same

way. I — you for. this — to — my
