Letter from Gottlob E. Loeble to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Cartridges, Finance, Hunting, Trusts, Industrial

Knowing that Theodore Roosevelt both fought against oppressive trusts and that he enjoys hunting, Gottlob E. Loeble sends Roosevelt several of his patented shotgun shells. In spite of being more effective and cheaper than other shotgun shells, Loebel cannot get their manufacture financed due to the pressure of the trusts. He asks if Roosevelt would be willing to speak with him for a few moments and offer his opinion on the matter.
