Gentlemen: I We are pleased to quote you on a Wausau Plow, full power hydrau- lic , Model TM2-X32-45 with 9 ft. wing, and universal underframe hitch, front mounted pump $1595.00 Additional to make front frame I hitch 96.00 '— 41690.00 Price is FOB Glens Falls , mounted. Vie expect car to be shipped October 19, and hope to be able to get this plow on car if order is received now. Very truly yours , 1 EARL T. CAASTNELL By (signed) P. Kit3_af MOTT - MANBECK MACHINERY CO. , Inc. , 1028-1030 Broadway Albany, New York October 8, 1948 Town Board, Town of Queenslniry Town Clerk' s Office, Ridge Aord Glens Falls , New York. Gentlemen: We respectfully submit the following proposal to furnish the Town of Queensbury a Ross Snow Plow and wing, full power hydraulic, as follows : One - Ross Model RVaIA "V" plow, front frame mounting, full power hydraulic lift and RM-10 Leveling tiling with full power hydraulic operation of both ends of the wing in - cluding the wing brace slide. Detailed specifications are enclosed. This model plow would be the most satisfactory to mount on your 1948 GMC 21 *ton truck Model FC-351. The price of the above unit mounted at our shop, freight prepaid to shop will be X1,990.00. Delivery on this plow will be 60 days. Regarding the operation of this full hydraulic system that we are quoting, we would like to call the attention of the Town Board to the fact that this plow is identical to the larger model hydraulic plows which have the feature of operating the wing brace slide up and down under full hydraulic power. Also, this plow has another full hydraulic cylinder that operates the front of the wing up or down under full -hydraulic power. These features are not furnished by many of our com- petitors on plows for this size truck. Therefore, you may note that our price may be slightly higher but power on the front of the wing and poorer on the wing brace slides are two features that are well worth at least X400.00 and if it were to be furnished on some other model plows, you would find that the cost would run approximately that amount. Regarding delivery, we have quoted the maximum and upon conversation with the factory, they feel that they may be able to make delivery earlier but as I promised to give you as honest a delivery date as possible, I am not cutting it down to 30 days and then ask you to wait 60 days to get it. I trust that this quotation will meet with your favorable approval and in order to protect yourself on price, would 'renuest that we have a reply on this by the 11th of October. Very truly yours, 110TT - MANBECK MACHINERY CO.
