Letterhead of Law Offices Harold W. Hayes, Prudential Building, 765 Broad St., Newark, N. J. November 17th 1902. William E. Gilmore, Esq, National Phonograph Company, Orange, N. J. Dear Sir:- I find that the Thomas A. Edison Jr. Chemical Company is using an institution of Mr. Edison's signature in its advertising matter, and also that it has a big sign on the front of its store, giving the impression that Mr. Edison is connected with it. Please get me a genuine signature of Thomas A. Edison Jr and give me the name of someone who will swear to its genuineness. Also send over to New York the first thing to-morrow a photographer, and have him take a photograph to show the signs of the Thomas A. Edison Jr. Chemical Company on the front of the building as prominently as possible. Have the photograph of large size and have it mounted on cardboard. Yours truly, Howard W. Hayes <RECEIVED NOV 17 1902> <ANS. 12/16/1902> [TAE MARGINALIA]
