Paul D. Bowler, President of the Layne & Bowler Company of California, sends Theodore Roosevelt a catalog in which they have used a quote from one of Roosevelt’s speeches. Bowler explains the business of the company–manufacturing wells and water pumps–and offers to lead Roosevelt on a tour of a pump near to Los Angeles, California, when Roosevelt is there, as they know Roosevelt’s interest in reclaiming arid lands.
