Mr. Orville Benson, Manager
Edison, N.J.
Dear Sir:-
Our attention has been called t the fact that several representatives of Insurance Companies have recently visited our works at Edison and would suggest that you show them gentlemen every courtesy, even to giving them lunch, etc., but do not allow them to go through the Works without someone accompanying them. It is needless to say that it would not be wise to say just when you expect the Works to commence operation again, but rather that same would be governed by orders which we may receive for our product. Should they persist in having definite information as to when the plant will start up again, you might refer them to this office. In other words, we do not want to specify any particular date or approximate date when the Works will start; but simply that we are shut down for want of orders for our output, and in the machine are making slight changes in the machinery, etc., and that we are liable to start up almost any time.
Yours truly,
W.S. Mallory V.P.
