My dear Mr. President:
I am taking the liberty of sending
you the enclosed picture. The sign shown on the front of
our City Hall has received a vast amount of favorable com-
ment, although it has been in position but a few days.
Last evening, at a very large dinner and reception
tendered our Post Master General and other guests, he was
presented with a picture similar to this by the Chamber of
Commerce -- a non-partisan body.
All through this section we have the strongest feel-
ing that splendid results have already been achieved by the
N. R. A. and firmly believe that the future accomplishments
of this and your other Recovery projects will be of the ut-
most benefit to our beloved nation and all its people.
With great respect,
Very sincerely yours,
Charles S.Domelley

CAMBRIDGE, OHIO,

1900.
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Dear Sir:
We appreciate very much receiving your letter.
WE make glass gear-shift balls with names inserted in
102
them, and we would like for you and Mrs. Roosevelt to have one for
your cars. Please advise us make and model of cars.
You will recall we were in favor of the N.R.A. one
hundred percent; but do not think it will be a complete success
unless the automatic machine is curtailed or eliminated.
For instance in the glass industry, on pressed tumblers;
Automatic Machine Production:
Continuos production for 24 hr. day- 30,000pcs.
Wages (Estimated) $4.00 for 6hr. turn.
Multiplied by 4 turns per day-$I6.00 total shop
labor cost.
Hand Pressed Production:
To produce 30,000 pieces would require 33 turns
of a listed move of 900 pieces, each turn employing
three men and four boys, a total of seven people.
Thirty-three turns multiplied by 7 people equals
23I people. A shop works two turns per day. The
automatic machine takes the place of II5 people
or I6 shops or crews. Shop cost $14.30 per turn.
$14.30 per turn X 33 turns equals $472.00 total
cost of producing 30,000 pcs. by hand pressed method.
Consider the difference in purchasing power of the workers
and the automatic machine.

Machines have displaced hand-pressed method on mixing bowls,
vases, footed-tumblers, shaker-salts, candy jars, and many other
popular articles. If a hand method factory places a new article
on the market, in a short time a machine manufacturer duplicates
the article and places it on the market at less than hand method
cost; concequently the hand method employees ARE WALKING THE STREETS.
I and other workers (in the hot metal dept.) of the Cambridge
Glass Co., Cambridge,0., Fostoria Glass CO., Moundsville, W.Va.,
and The Heisey Glass CO. Newark, 0. (all hand method plants) have
not averaged since I929 twenty hours work per week due to the
automatic machine working I68 hours per week. Hand method plants
with a visible investment of $1,500,000.00 can not operate even
one-third of capacity steady.
To eliminate this condition the automatic machine must be
cut down to 40 hours per week and the selling price of machine
made glass ware must be the same as hand method glass ware to
eliminate cut-throat competition.
I hope you will give this matter some thought and consider-
ation. We think you are on the right road to National Recovery
and wish you success.
Respectfully Yours,
John Deyenbart
November 17, 1933
My dear Mr. Degenhart:
The President deeply appreciates
your letter of November fourth and the offer
to give him and Mrs. Roosevelt some glass
gear-shift balls with names inserted in them.
Mrs. Roosevelt has & car of
her own - a Buick roadster.- The other automobiles
are under contract yerr by year with the White
House and are not owned by the Government.
It would not seem appropriate, therefore, to
put a gear-shift ball with the President's
name on it, in any of the White House card.
Very sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. President:
As one who wishes you every success and one of your
most loyal supporters, I am sending you my old, reliable text
book on Political Economy by Arthur L. Perry, L. L. D., formerly
Orrin Sage Professor of History and Political Economy in
Williams College, which I studied in the eighties while
attending college in Illinois and which I have re-read with
profit many times since. I have tried to secure a new copy
for you but it seems the work is now out of print and difficult
to find, so please pardon its appearance. Professor Perry
prepared this treatise before political parties, politicians
and certain interests sought to mislead our youths and the
people in general by writing false doctrines and text books.
Though written years ago correct principles of political
economy like mathematics are eternal.
I am sure you will find the chapters on Money, add
Money in the Unites States valuable reading at this time and
if you have time some of the other chapters. The work as a
whole is in harmony with Democratic principles.
While I may be mistaken, I think we should not try
to regulate the world price of gold, but rather strive to
free it from human manipulations and let it rest on the law
of supply and demand. I feel that it may easily prove a
disaster and injure or defeat your New Deal plans, which plans
DOUGLAS L. DUNAVAN

2,
I wish to succeed with all my heart.
I am sure some of your advisors are in error when
they advise that commodity prices advance with the advance
of the price of gold. All history of money teaches the exact
reverse. When large quantities of gold were mined in Cal ifornia
in 1849 and a few yearsfollowing, the price of gold decreased
and commodity prices advanced. That was also the case when
large quantities of gold were mined in Australia and Alaska.
As long as gold is used as money or a measure of value, that
must always be the case.
May I warn you to guard your health for I fear
there are those who wish to overtax your strength.
Respectfully and cordially yours,
Douglas Lee Dunavan

This catches men in all brackets of our social order, business order,

Decadent knowledge is doomed to break down in all countries
to be hauled into wisdoms reconstruction of things, to be con-
verted perhaps into something like a wine-shield as against the
elements in our nature and the speed with which we are travelling
into the future of which knowledge seems to know nothing, for it is
builded upon the foundation of the past, while wisdom covers all
both past and future and keeps clean of carbon as it speeds along.
So we turn now to the signs strewn along the highway of
life, which only those of vision can see, of which I bear witness,
that they compare with those found hidden in the scriptures: only
I had to see for myself before I could find them, after which
the Bible becomes a true guide into the un-known places,
but the Book is 80 constructed as to be a devil-catcher and will
only be open to all after the devil has been bound with the chains
of darkness. And the stone that became a mountain has covered
three-sevenths of the world today. These three-
sevenths have need to become highly interested in values, and it
is in that stone (the people) we must look for value and not in
gold and silver which is soon to find no place that will do us

His Excellency, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the United States
White House, Washington D.C.
Your Excellency;
I am a young man nineteen yeare of age; one of the
thousands of young men who listened to your radio address to the peo-
ple of the United States on October 22, 1933.
In a time such as we are now passing through; a per-
iod of depression, misery, strife, and pessimism, your words of cheer
coming through the radio right in our own homes, is like a ray of sun-
shine in a dark forest. Things are bad now, to be sure, but I hesitate
to even contemplate what they would be like if you did not send the
"Blue Eagle" with its sýmbols of industry and power, flying off from
your desk and all over the United States.
Your words have been a source of inspiration to thous-
ands who otherwise would have given up in despair.
When you said, on October 22, that the "Farm Credits
Act", the "NR.A", and the other mesures which you have put through
were "pillars in the Temple of Prosperity", I was inspired to make the
cartoon that I am hereby sending to you entitled, "Uncle Sam Surveys

Dear Mr. President:-
The enclosed brief story, "I Wanted to Know"
was written shortly after the war and was distri-
buted at the time by a number of industrial plants
to their employees.
It has occurred to me that this argument
in story form with revisions to meet present
conditions might be useful in certain activities
of the N.R.A. to place before thoughtful workers
in concise and readily understandable form the
interdependence between labor and capital and
some fallacies of communistic theory.
Very respectfully yours,

November 23, 1933
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
Warm Springs, Georgia
My dear Mr. President:
I heard your radio speech yesterday and was pleased by the quiet way
in which you admonished the knockers.
Not it occured to me that perhaps you would like to have me create a
bird sanctuary out of the grounds around your home there for those
unfortunate children. We are driving to Miami shortly and as
we go through Atlanta it would be very little out of my way to
drive to Warm Springs go over the grounds, locate and stake
out what would be necessary to create them into a successful
bird sanctuary. Incidentally I am the only one who can do
this. I go all over the country on this errand and in-
variably my installations are a success.
The late Edwin Gould had me create bird sanctuaries around
every one of the homes he maintained for the crippled
children and he wrote me that the children got more enjoy-
ment out of the beautiful birds that my houses attracted
than anything else he had done for them.
We were the first ones in this little town to join
your N R A and while it is costing us more money to
run our factory we still feel very much encouraged
by the outlook.
Under separate cover I am enclosing you a copy
of my latest catalog, "Your Bird Friends and How
to Win Them."
With my kindest personal regards, I beg
to remain
Sincerely yours,

Under separate cover, I am sending you a letter

I am writing this note to explain to you that
the package does not contain an Infernal Machine,
Mussolini's pocket knife, nor Hitler's sword.
I hope that you shall enjoy it from its
historic value, for I have more than enjoyed making
it a useful article for you.
