Office of the Secretary,}

Mr. Jaros.
My Dear Sir:—In reply to your inquiry relative to the benefits derived by our men from the use of your Wear, I beg to state that I have yet to learn of a single case of illness due to exposure of any man who has worn these garments. They were introduced into this Department about three years ago, and quite generally adopted by our men. As I have said, our records do not show that a man was obliged to go off duty during any cold months of the year on account of sickness. I know of several who did not get the Wear who were ill, and purchased it later on account of the good words said of it by their comrades. The Wear is very popular in this Department, and from what our men tell me, they prefer it to any other.
Very truly yours,
James E. Tryon, Secretary.

Mr. I. Jaros.
Dear Sir:—The Jaros Hygienic Underwear has been in use with us for last three seasons, and I can highly recommend it to all Fire Departments, as this underwear is considered by us as the best possible protection against cold and changeable temperatures, which are especially characteristic of this latitude, and its use has resulted in great protection of health and a corresponding increased efficiency, and I find them the most desirable article I have ever seen for the object to be attained.
