Leeper Machine Company P. O. Box 147 Ash Grove, Missouri.
I received Floyd Clymer’s Album of Historical Steam,
Traction Engines Deluxe Edition. I would not take any price if
another couldn’t be obtained. It certainly is a fine Album for
all of us ‘Steam Bugs’, especially on the traction
engine.
Many years ago I was a steam traction engineer, later on
stationary steam engines, licensed in many cities in the U. S., and
the State of Montana. Then I took up the steam automobile in
Helena, Montana, in March, 1905. I have built four miniature slide
valve stationary steam engines and boilers, sold them, and I now
have four more under construction.
I wish to compliment YOU on your FINE magazine, THE IRON-MEN
ALBUM. My only regret is that I did not hear of your publication
when you first started.
SAY! By all means keep up the Model Builders Page. I intend to
build a steam traction engine in the not-too-far-off, possibly this
spring. I wish you all success in THE MAGAZINE. Many actual
threshing gatherings in several states have been interesting. Get
some of the photographs and full history. It will be interesting to
us.
