A customer named Harjes
writes us from New York as follows:-

"I have no words to express the joy that I get out of driving this car. The only change I made on the car was supercharging it with a "Centric" supercharger and considering that the work was done over here (not by Brewster) the car has a wonderful performance.

I should very much like to have another car along the same lines as my present one around early Spring of next year, some time in March."

We have informed him that the car is not designed for a supercharger, but I should be interested to know whether you know anything about this particular charger.

C.
