IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO GET TO MEET YOU IN PERSON, AND GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO I'VE NOT YET HAD A CHANCE TO MEET I'M TOM HAYS. I WAS THE FOURTH GENERATION TO GROW UP ON OUR FAMILY FARM A SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE STONES RIVER BATTLE FIELD. I'VE ALWAYS HAD AN INTEREST IN THE CIVIL WAR, AND HAVE BEEN SELLING RELICS FOR TWENTY YEARS. MANY OF YOU ALSO KNOW MY FATHER, BILL HAYS WHO HAS ALSO DEALT IN RELICS FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE HAD THIS RELIC SITE SINCE FEBRUARY OF 1998. A LOT HAS CHANGED IN THAT TIME, BUT THE FOLLOWING NEVER WILL:
                               MY PLEDGE TO YOU THE COLLECTOR
1) FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'LL NEVER KNOWINGLY SELL A FAKE
2) I'LL NOT MAKE UP A LOCATION WHERE A RELIC WAS FOUND
3) I'LL NOT MAKE UP A STORY TO EMBELLISH A RELIC
4) I'LL NOT ALTER A RELIC TO REPRESENT IT AS SOMETHING ITS NOT
5) I'LL TELL YOU IF IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED
6) I'LL STAND BEHIND EVERY RELIC I SELL
IN SHORT, I'LL TREAT YOU EXACTLY THE WAY I WANT TO BE TREATED WHEN
I BUY. I APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS AND I APPRECIATE YOU!

WHENEVER YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE TENNESSEE AREA, I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO STOP BY. PLEASE CALL FIRST AS I AM A ONE MAN OPERATION, AND I'M
OFTEN AWAY FROM THE SHOP.

Sincerely,
Tom Hays
