Dear Col. Littleton, For the last five years I have been enjoying the No. 1 Dark brown belt. It is a fine product and has stood the test of time well. Recently, my wife and daughter took a trip to Germany to reconnect with family that we have not had face to face contact with since the 1860s.

Upon their arrival, my wife noticed our cousin's GP No. 1 Bag. Our German cousins were impressed that we knew of Colonel Littleton. I must say we were impressed as well. Seems good taste and common sense has stood the test of time and two world wars. Blood is thicker than water and now you can add to that list, loyalty to your products.

I recently dropped in on your store at 2nd Ave. in Nashville. Your man there was very helpful and he took the opportunity to sell me the No. 5 Cinch belt I've been wanting since I bought my first belt. It's a perfect fit. Thank you, sir, for your devotion to good wares, for employing the fine people of my home state, and for staying true to the image you have created.
