small business writes .... We say, "Thank You Mr. Kirtley"
D. D. Kirtley KIRT'S PIPE SHOP Quality Smokers' Requisites 2413 GALIANO STREET CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA HIghland 8-4916 February 2, 1961 Mr. William von Maurer, Editor 308 Aragon Coral Gables, Florida Dear Mr. von Maurer: Having just closed my books for the month of January, I was greatly pleased with the fantastic increase over the previous January. As a small business I have a very limited advertising budget and therefore have tried various publications to ascertain which afforded me the most for each advertising dollar spent. I can truthfully say that "The Times" has met this requirement. It may be of interest to you to know that your staff has been most helpful and show a definite interest in all copy regardless of the size. Also the fact that you accept small insertions, allows me to keep my name before the most select group of readers in Dade County. "The Times" carried my "opening announcement" approximately eighteen months ago and today "Kirt's Pipe Shop" is firmly established, as "The Smokers' Headquarters" for Dade County. Thanking you, I remain Sincerely, D. D. Kirtley D. D. Kirtley P.S. If my above experiences and the use of this letter will help you or other small business men you are welcome to use it as you see fit.
