Gentlemen:—The "Jaros Hygienic Underwear" has been in use with Conductors and Gripmen of this Company since November 1885, having been recommended by the Company's Surgeon, Dr. D. A. K. Steele. We speak for the men in asserting that this underwear is considered 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. With conductors, whose occupation necessarily prevents the wearing of a very heavy overcoat, it is of great advantage, and gripmen and drivers are enabled to thoroughly protect themselves in their exposed positions without an overplus of clothing, otherwise necessary.
The proper protection of men serving in Street Railway Companies is of the greatest importance; since an efficient service in trying weather is largely dependent on their prompt response. We have been pleased to secure for our employees a contract figure on the "Jaros Hygienic Underwear," and feel that the benefits fully justify us in our continuance of this arrangement.
Respectively yours,
