There is a passage inside the back cover page of the older Melroe Bobcat skid loaders with a passage about American Spirit and free enterprise. It starts: "An American Heritage Free Enterprise ...." and continues with "I am the spirit of private enterprise. Wherever I have existed ....." and so forth. Does anyone have this page? Would you consider taking a picture and posting it? Mine is obscured with hydraulic fluid and I can only read half. What a gem...I'd like to get a copy of this and frame it for my garage.

I found your email address in your profile and sent you a file. Let me know if it does not work for you. Since I had it in the scanner I converted it to text. Here it is: An American Heritage FREE ENTERPRISE I AM THE SPIRIT OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. Wherever I have existed, freedom of mind and body have existed. Wherever I have been murdered by collectivist laws and governmental strangulation, freedom of mind and freedom of body have died. I died In the collectivist Feudal ages. I was resurrected in the Renaissance and Reformation beginning the modern age. With the rebirth of free private trading came the vastest expansion in the arts and sciences the world has ever known. I, Private Enterprise, have brought men of the same countries and men of distant countries closer together in friendlier intercourse than all the Socialist and Communist doctrines combined. My trade routes have been the routes of human progress. I am the expression and sustainer of all that is lordly, In the human soul —— SELF RELIANCE, the ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT, emotional and mental INITIATIVE, AMBITION and INVENTIVE RESOURCEFULNESS. With my rebirth In the Renaissance and the Reformation the human level of living began to rise and the shackles on slave labor began to rust and crack. The dignity of the individual and his soul In relation to his God was restored. I, Private Enterprise, built America. If she Is a giant today In production It Is I who have made her a giant. I cleared her forests. I built her railroads. I tunneled her mountains. I erected her factories, dug the coal and ore in her mines and sent Out her ships on Seven Seas. In my brain was born every comfort you enjoy. I, Private Enterprise, with my free laborers, built the muskets, the airplanes, the tanks, the submarines, the great guns that were used In the Revolutionary, Civil, and both World Wars and that are now protecting the United States from Invasion. I am the hope of the world. l am the butcher shop, the bank, the newsstand, the great department store, the giant furnaces of Detroit and Pittsburgh and the electric light. I, Private Enterprise, am Edison, Ericsson, Goodyear, Wanamer, Westinghouse, Fulton, Whitney, Morse and the Wright brothers. l am that FREE BUSINESS, big and little, on which civilization alone depends. I am the body of a great spiritual entity -— LIBERTY. I am the body of a great sociological and biological fact -- SELF - INTEREST. It is I, Private and Free Enterprise, that has won the second World War. I am AMERICA. I am the BEST DEAL. I am the very essence and body of Jeffersonian democracy, for I am PERSONAL LIBERTY AND PRIVATE PROPERTY. MELROE COMPANY GWINNER, NORTH DAKOTA
