time being we couldn't place him. On being introduced to him we immediately recognized him, even though he had become much thinner, it was none other than our old friend, Joe Reuter, now the famous Flesh reducing physician of the United States. Joe invited us for a spin in his car. We accepted and were surprised to see the wonderful improvements that had taken place in the city. Joe's car is a wonder, a new make, a land and air combination, that is creating quite a sensation in the West and will before long cause a wonderful change in the automotive world. We asked Joe the make of this machine and he informed us that it was a Le-Fevre,', put out by the LeFevre Corporation and namied after its president and producer, VVilfrid LeFevre a class mate of ours. After Joe had given us the benefit of this Aero-Motor car we resolved to purchase one, so he accordingly drove us to the distributing agency of this car-the George J. Rapp Distributing Companyfy Entering the salesroom, we were greeted by George J. himself, who immediately recognized us. George started to explain the merits of the machine, but we cut him off by requesting him to bring forth the order blanks, which we immediately signed, thus closing the deal. George J. informed us that we would have to wait a month before delivery could be made. unless we could see LeFevre and have him rush the order through. Deciding to do this, we left for the factory and were soon seated in the pala- tial office of President LeFevre, Will greeted us most cordially and after explaining to him the object of our mission, he took us to the shipping depart- ment and told us that we could drive our own car away with us when we were leaving. Returning to the ofhce we took out our check books to pay for the cars, but VVill ordered us to put them away and accept the cars with his compliments. Immediately after leaving the LeFevre Corporation we journeyed out to Grosse Pointe, to the Gauthier Ice-Boat Company. We dropped inn on Clayton and congratulated him on winning the title of 'flce-Boat King the previous winter. Clayton showed us his machines and explained to us his invention for preventing ice-water baths, he stated that he had had enough of them during his school days and that as a consequence he had set to work to invent a machine that would prevent this. He has succeeded admirably well and intends to put his machine on the market before very long. Our next stop was Chicago, where we went Lo take in the championship chess match, between our little school day wonder, Bernard J. Compliment and Jose Capablance, of Cuba. Bernard carried off the championship and received the congratulations of his class mates at a banquet held in his honor at the Blackstone Hotel. Un our return to Detroit after a few days, we landed on the roof of the New Century Building and noticed the sign on the top of this 100-story Wonder of the VVorld -Selter Construction Company, Detroit, Mich. lVe immediately called Elmer from our machine by radiophone, and told him that we were on the top of his building. A moment or two afterwards an aero-motor car shot out into space from the eightieth story exit and was soon mounting to the roof. After a brief conversation on top of the tallest building in the world we left for the Statler. Here we were joined by Joseph Schulte and Clarence Robinett who had left the cares and worries of their law business back in New York City, in order to spend a few days with their old school chums. Soon the time come for us to depart, but before doing so we held a Class Reunion in the dining room of the Statler at which we resolved to meet in the same place five years hence, when we hope and expect to have you with us. On January 25 I returned to South America, where I am now busily engaged in looking after our interests here. However, I do not intend to stay here much longer, as I am longing for dear Old Detroit, but especially for my class mates of 1918-1922. Trusting to hear from you, I am Your sincere pupil, ELMER O.
