Riker Laboratories, Inc Los Angeles, Calif 7 October 1952 P. Q. Box 5157 Terminal Annex Los Angeles 54, Calif. Mr. Manfred Bowditch The Lead Industries Assoc. 420 Lexington Avenue New York .17 N. Y. Dear.Mr. Bowditch: Sam Lerner passed on to me your very kind condolences over the sad event we are trying to get used to. Fenn is indeed a very difficult man to replace, not only in the work sense but in the personal sense. May I clarify the present organization of Riker Labora tories for youY The company is a subsidiary of the Rexall Drug Company. Its President is Mr. J.W. Dart, its Managing Vice-President, myself, its Research Director, Dr. J.W. Stutzman, its Vice-President in charge of Sales and Promo tion, Mr. Alfred H. Ridges, its Vice President in charge of Manufacture, Dr. J. Albert Reynolds. The aim of the corporation is, of course, the design, fabrication and marketing of ethical drugs by which term is implied, drugs marketed only on physicians prescriptions. Factory and offices are both in Los Angeles and all mail funnels through the post office box named above. My interest in Versene continues. The rate of utili zation of ampules has very much stepped up and what reports we have received back suggest that the efficacy in lead poisoning at least appears good. I would enjoy to exchange information with you whenever the opportunity may arise. I hope that the course of your work will bring you out here after not too long a time. With kindest personal regards, I am, Sincerely yours, /s/ George Maison GLM:mew George L. Maison N 2476
