My dear Mr. President: Permit me to offer my congratulations, and also a little information as to what we, a typical small business organization, are trying to do to create employment for after the war. I am enclosing herein several exercise manuals de- signed to relieve eyestrain and improve vision, and on the back cover you will find an exercise machine which we hope to place into industrial plants and barber shops to teach the average - individual how to give their eyes the proper care. We are not eye specialists, but these simple exer- cises were so beneficial to a number of employees in our gear plant that we formed the above corporation to extend this means of relief to others. Perhaps you would like to have a few extra copies; if so, you can have Steve Early let us know, or have him give us the names of some of your friends who might benefit from these exercises so they can see the light and the many good things which we are trying to accomplish for the average citi- zen. We are doing considerable development work along other lines to develop machinery which may improve the health of the afflicted, and since you have made such a valiant ef- fort to overcome your physical handicap, perhaps you have an idea in the back of your mind about a machine that could be developed to overcome the bad effects of infantile paralysis.

BRADBURY TELEPHONE NO. 78 STATES ATTORNEY CRAWFORD CO.,ILLS. me ROBINSON, ILLINOIS November 9th 1944. to Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt President: The United States of America The White House Washington, D.C. Dear President Roosevelt:- Sincere congratulations! and even yet I am in deep wonderment as just how you can do it. The Republicans spent plenty of money in these rural communities, were organized 100% and had speeches of hate and venom. Whipsering campaigns was the order of the day. The mails anautomobiles were piled with scandalous propoganda and the Democrats were disorganized on the defense ,and did very very little. If you could work out some plan or have it done for rural communities for the Democratic Party it would be a wonderful thing. Our County here normally is about 1000 Republican, this year Mr Dewey carried it by 1650 and Governor Green by about 1750. My brother was defeated for States Attorney on Democratic Ticket by 35 votes so they didk scratch for him but too little and too late. With the wind storm however we were suprised that he did so well. To me the most wonderful thing in this and all campaigns is your own statements, speeches, and character. How you stand the opposition I know not, but it is wonderful, and may you continue in good health, and strength to carry out your leadership against all the malice and hate of the Fascist, Nazi inspired organization known as the G.O.P. Under seperate cover I sent you a picture Oh what a Beautiful Morning that expresses my feelings better than any words can express same. May God continue to give you the strength to Carry on for God and Country, and each and all of us, including the GOP for they apparently know not what they do" Sincerely, William William E. Bradbury.

Y. Oct. 30, 1944 A "Gift in Itself" President Franklin Delano Roosevelt The White House Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. Roosevelt: It gave me great pleasure the first time you were nominated to office as President of our great and beloved United States, to send you a congratulation wish via a wish bone on which I actually in- scribed a message. Under separate cover, it, again, for the third time, gives me pleasure to wish you success for a fourth term. I know only too well that so many folks would like to have your signature - but that because your duties are so very numerous your personal stamp or a letter from your secretary would have to suffice. You see, Mr. Roosevelt, the first wish bone which was ever mailed went to you at the Governor's Mansion in Albany, and since curing, inscribing and trimming genuine wish bones happens to, now, be my way of earning a living, I would so deem it a very special and honored favor if you would at your leisure (when the excitement has subsided) let me have a chatty few words from you with your personal signature; as I am writing a book on the "Developement of an idea" - the 500,000 wish bones I've collected through real hard work - all started when you were leaving the Governor's Mansion. I cannot afford to advertise as I should like to, but "Ameri- can Magazine" "Coronet", etc., etc., have written me up so beautifully that this, for the time being, must serve as my mail order business! Dr. R. Titus of the Dept. of Agriculture at Beltsville, Md., wrote me a very kind letter in which he says I quote: "Dear Wish Bone Lady", Miss Delphine Binger; you have taken the waste product of a Billion Dollar Industry and made into it a useful and aesthetic by- product!" I was invited to take a booth at the "Poultry Indus- tries Exhibition" at the time - to display the wish bones with appropriate trimmings to suit the ardent fisherman, the many sports enthusiasts, etc., etc. I was very fortunate in securing my very first whole- sale order from Marshall Fields of Chicago - the am't was for $77.55 - and later, I sold more stereotyped greetings to Saks Fifth Ave., B. Altman & Co., Brentano, etc., etc. The Saga of the "Bones" was told in natural color thru a Paramount release - the first showing at the Paramount Theatre in Times Square, N. Y. I have spoken over "NBC" and "CBS" stations and everyone has been so kind. I seem to have a corner on the wish bone market - and am the Mother of a new industry! The "bones" are carefully cured - and will last indef- initely. They are inscribed by a needlepointed instrument and the wording can never rub off. They serve as a sender-to-receiver-message! (The next page has pasted to it an article from Coronet, as follows:) "Better Mouse Traps" Delphine Binger's bright idea struck her at the Sunday dinner table, the day she netted the chicken wishbone. For some time she'd been looking for an out-of-the-way remembrance for a shut-in friend, "That's it," she thought, her eyes on the de- nuded bone, "I'll write a cheer-up message on a wishbone!" It wasn't easy. At first the ink seeped through the fibers, and coating the bone with chemicals didn't seem to help. But at last she hit upon a special during process that turned the trick. Next she perfected a tiny needle-pointed writing instrument in time to send wishbone congratulations to Franklin D. Roosevelt on his first nomination for the Presidency. The denouement of this success story is, of course, that Delphine Binger's hobby turned into a paying proposition. Today, with a stock of 100 thousand wish ones culled from hotel kitchens and farmer friends, she conducts a thriving trade. For one buck or more, depending on the size of the bone and the elab- orateness of the trim, she'll dispatch an eight-word message in any language to anyone in the United States or Canada. (The letter continues, as follows:) I am not so interested in stereotyped messages. I enjoy more - being the mother confessor of so many folks who write me about their problems, after which I study the situation carefully, and finally hit upon just the right wording - so that it no longer is a problem to those folks interested - a sort of a "Mr. Anthony" advisor - but done via a wish bone! Upon the order of a Greek client, a Greek X'mas message was mailed to the former Princess Marina of Greece, now the Duchess of Kent! I say --- when the greeting card "isn't quite enough" --- or the gift a "bit too expensive" or the telegram "too trite and not original enough"--- say it with "Lucky Wish Bone Greeting-Gifts!" Thank you, Mr. Roosevelt, for your kind consideration of this letter, and certainly, most sincerely -- Good Luck to you!

C. My Dear Mr. President: Our esteemed mutual friend, the late Gus Generich, made it possible for me to enjoy the never-to-be-forgotten honour and pleasure of meeting you on the two occasions when you raised your three sons to the sublime degree of Master Mason in Architect Lodge, West 23rd Street, New York City. This meeting has been a source of inspiration to me in all of my endeavors. At present I am employed at Consolidated Steel Corporation, Ltd., which is making the famous Twin-mount 5" Naval Guns. Being a veteran of the last war I offered my services two days after Pearl Harbor for the present world conflict. Since I was never called for duty I entered defense work and have been serving my country in this manner for the past thirty-two months. As a lucky omen I fashioned a momento for you from a small piece of scrap metal cut from the end of a bearing strip in the slide which supports the Naval Guns made at my employing company. The mechanism from which thissmall piece came is no doubt serving to help subdue the enemies of our great country. Although this paper weight shaped into a book can never contain the record of achievement of these particu- lar guns, it shall ever remain a genuine blood-relative of the many implements serving to achieve Victory.

Roosevelt\nPresident: The United States of America\nThe White House\nWashington, D.C.\nDear President Roosevelt:-\nSincere congratulations! and even yet I am in\ndeep wonderment as just how you can do it. The Republicans spent plenty\nof money in these rural communities, were organized 100% and had\nspeeches of hate and venom. Whipsering campaigns was the order of the\nday. The mails anautomobiles were piled with scandalous propoganda\nand the Democrats were disorganized on the defense ,and did very very\nlittle. If you could work out some plan or have it done for rural\ncommunities for the Democratic Party it would be a wonderful thing.\nOur County here normally is about 1000 Republican,\nthis year Mr Dewey carried it by 1650 and Governor Green by about\n1750. My brother was defeated for States Attorney on Democratic Ticket\nby 35 votes so they didk scratch for him but too little and too late.\nWith the wind storm however we were suprised that he did so well.\nTo me the most wonderful thing in this and\nall campaigns is your own statements, speeches, and character. How\nyou stand the opposition I know not, but it is wonderful, and may\nyou continue in good health, and strength to carry out your\nleadership against all the malice and hate of the Fascist, Nazi inspired\norganization known as the G.O.P.\nUnder seperate cover I sent you a picture Oh\nwhat a Beautiful Morning that expresses my feelings better than any\nwords can express same.\nMay God continue to give you the strength to\nCarry on for God and Country, and each and all of us, including the GOP\nfor they apparently know not what they do\"\nSincerely,\nWilliam William E.

At first the ink seeped through the\nfibers, and coating the bone with chemicals didn't seem to help.\nBut at last she hit upon a special during process that turned\nthe trick. Next she perfected a tiny needle-pointed writing\ninstrument in time to send wishbone congratulations to Franklin\nD. Roosevelt on his first nomination for the Presidency.\nThe denouement of this success story is, of course,\nthat Delphine Binger's hobby turned into a paying proposition.\nToday, with a stock of 100 thousand wish ones culled from hotel\nkitchens and farmer friends, she conducts a thriving trade.
