The factory can be a 1 2 or 3 story one. I shall want about 10 to 15000 square feet of floor space + boiler + engine of 75 horse power or place to put one, it is for the Toy Doll biz and to be used for assembling parts sent from America + also to make some of the parts especially the tin casing which I can do cheaper there, I shall probably want you to run the biz end of the factory machinery & tools will be sent from here.##I also may want to start a lamp factory there and will require 50,000 square feet of floor surface & it would be a good thing to get them close together or even right together, the suburbs of a city would answer or a suburb and town or even a small town good for shipping--##Look around get prices send plans + data & condition property--Repairs required cost coal labor etc. & in fact every kind of data. I will be over in August. Mr. Dick will have selling Agency probably-- Gilliland & Tomlinson are coming over with some of men hired away from me to start a factory for Dolls to run opposite to me, but I believe I can bust them up on cheapness & a better doll to say nothing of the new patents I have which alone will permit of a good doll being made-- Edison [See letterbook version LB029434 890517 refers to Toy phono factory]","Supplied year, month, and day"]},{"label":"Author","value":"Edison, Thomas Alva"},{"label":"Recipient","value":"Dyer, Philip Sidney"},{"label":"Mentioned","value":["Gilliland, Ezra Torrance","Tomlinson, John Canfield"]},{"label":"Date","value":"1889-05-17"},{"label":"Type","value":"Letter"},{"label":"Subject","value":["International business operations","Manufacturing","Talking doll"]},{"label":"Folder/Volume ID","value":"D8905-F"},{"label":"Microfilm ID","value":"125:239"},{"label":"Document ID","value":"D8905ADH"},{"label":"URL","value":"https://edisondigital.rutgers.edu/document/D8905ADH"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Thomas Edison National Historical Park"},{"label":"Publisher","value":"Thomas A.
