692 (522) Nov. 3/96. Mr. J. L. Smyser, Personal Pres’t, Ohio Falls Car Co., Jeffersonville, Ind. My dear Sir: We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated Nov. 1 in reference to establishing a standard 60,000 lb. box car. Knowing you as well as I do, I do not hesitate to express briefly my personal views on this subject such as I care to give to very few if any competitors. It seems to me that, should a standard 60,000 lb. box car be established by the car-builders without an established price for same, a great amount of injury to the car-building interest might follow. I am quite sure that it is entirely unnecessary for me to detail the thoughts in my mind. Surely you understand and appreciate them from various points of view. Am I not right? Yours very truly, Charles L. Freer Managing Director.
