During this storm on one of our roads, which was exposed to the high winds and drifting snow, weran up grade through from twelve inches to two feet of snow, one continuous drift, for nearly a mile with-out experiencing any difficulty. We have heard many complimentary remarks from prominent business men, testifying to the goodwork done by the sweepers. Without them we should have certainly been tied up during both the stormsmentioned. We feel that you should certainly congratulate yourselves upon your success as manufacturers ofelectric snow sweepers. Yours very truly, THE TOLEDO CONSOLIDATED STREET RAILWAY CO. (signed) Winfield S. Jewell, General March 14, 1895. McGuire Manufacturing Co., 122 N. Sangamon St., City. Gentlemen :—In reply to your favor of the 6th inst., in reference to combination snow plow andsweeper, I beg to say that the sweeper purchased of you a short time since has given satisfaction in everyparticular. During the last heavy snow storm it was operated fifty-five consecutive hours without anybreak downs or trouble of any nature. We succeeded in removing banks of snow from three to six feet inheight, and in removing snow for several blocks three feet deep, without any interruption. The plowsattached to the side of the sweeper are very useful, in the fact that they remove the snow sufficient dis-tance from the track to allow the sweeper on the next trip to throw what snow has fallen some distanceaway from track and over the bank already left. If we intended purchasing another sweeper for nextwinters use, we most certainly would duplicate our last order to you. Verv truly yours,
