M W. DEAVEN PORT, Cashier,
Denton County National Bank.
After examining the mechanism of the Poindexter
Pneumatic Shock Absorber and riding in a car equipt with
same, we are of the opinion that it is the best shock ab-
sorber on the market. In our judgment, the superior
merits of this shock absorber together with the popular
price at which it can be sold will fill a real demand,’which,
up to this time, has not been met for the average car. We
shall not hesitate to recommend this shock absorber to our
customers. *

This is to certify that I have examined the Poindexter
Shock absorber and have ridden in a ear equipped -with i
them over one of the roughest streets in Denton and can
certainly say that they are remarkable.
Their simplicity, ease of operation and reasonable J
price will make them one of the most popular absorbers on
the market, in my opinion. The past year has seen an
.iprecedented demand for shock absorbers and very few ■ .
manufacturers have been able to supply the demand.
Some being as much as two or three months behind with
deliveries.
The Poindexter Absorber, in my opinion, will meet
with instant approval with the buying public and will
prove a popular seller when placed on the market.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:— Denton, Texas, January 19, 1920.
I have ridden in a Model R 5 passenger Hupmobile equipped with Poindexter Shock Absorbers and it is a pleasure to state
that I fully believe that it makes this car ride 100 per cent easier than car which does not have this equipment.
The car was driven over the roughest kind of streets and at no time were the passengers compelled to hold themselves braced
to prevent being thrown against the top of the car
These absorbers make a small car ride as easy

We expect to sell only enough stock to put 1,000 sets of Shock Absorbers on I ,000 cars. From this sale we will net at least $50,000, leaving

which is to manufacture this shock absorber, but have
already placed our order for eigjjt sets which we expect to

10,000 Sets Will be Sold in Texas First Year
At a meeting of the Directors of the Denton Chamber of Commerce, Jan. 6th, it was freely predicted that
1 0,000 sets could easily be sold in T^xas the first year. They unanimously endorsed the proposition and several an-
nounced at the time that they would take stock and have since done so.
