>Ken Smith Dealership : Dear Mr. Splendore
To: Splendore, James (J.A.)
Subject: Ken Smith Dealership
Dear Mr. Splendore,
I don’t know how long you have lived here in Ridgewood with your family,
but only a few years ago we had 4 car dealerships here. Now we have one, Ken Smith. I support his efforts to stay in business and acquire the ability to sell your Ford model cars in addition to your Lincoln now
that Mercury is gone. It seems like Ford is trying to pressure this
long owned family business to close shop. That is not healthy for
Ridgewood or might I add for Ford. I won’t buy another Chrysler product
because the dealerships are too far from here now that Fairway Dodge
closed. And I certainly wont buy another Ford car if you make me drive
to the “highway” to get it serviced too.
Ken Ford L/M has been and continues to be a good business citizen of
Ridgewood. It would be a shame for you to force him out of business
because you deny him an opportunity to sell cars. I trust you will work
to preserve his franchise and help him grow his business far all
concerned; Ford, Ridgewood and K. Smith by securing the right for K. Smith to sell Ford model cars.
All the best,
Ridgewood Resident
