Gentlemen:—In your issue of 12th inst. you published an article marked “By an Anonymous Author,” “How Ruby Played.” The article in question was published a number of years ago and under the name of my personal friend, Dr. Bagby, of Richmond, Va., at that time editor and chief manager of the Southern Literary Messenger.

The Press:—"A sensation was created by the discovery that the Croxton-Keeton was a taxicab chassis instead of a pleasure or racing car.” The Croxton-Keeton you buy will be the exact duplicate of the car capable of this un- equalled performance. And this feat was made possible by the perfect combination of French and American ideas found in the Croxton-Keeton alone. You would do well to see the carat your or get our literature.
