- Editor's Notes
- I consider it my duty to advise you that we are frequently importuned to do business within the Spanish Colonial Co.'s territory, and that although we have repeatedly applied to that company for their consent, we are unable to elicit any reply from them, and I therefore believe that valuable business is being inexcusably neglected. Recently a gentleman called upon me in Puerto Rico with an order for an electric plant, which of course I was unable to fill. I referred him to the Edison Spanish Colonial Co., but he subsequently informed me that he was unable to do any business with them. He also stated that Mr. Navarro had consented to allowing us to do the business for them, but although I have written two or three times to Navarrro and althrough he has promised to send me a reply, he has failed to do so, and I believe that the gentleman above referred to has placed his order with another company, although he wanted, and very much preferred the Edison light. [TAE Marg.]: "My advice is that you do the business and settle with the Co. afterwards."
