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.
We would be very glad to have our engineers work on it as you
would know best as to just what would be needed to help rebuild

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. E. Pradhing

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

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!
Your friend,

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.
I greatly admire your ability to find time to smile
even under our most trying conditions, and hope this little
object will in some measure convey my deep admiration and
thankfulness in having a man such as you to guide our great
country in its hour of dire need.
I have the honour to remain yours faithfully and
fraternally,
maleom V, Butter
