Sows of the plain texture (no aggregate) va* shipped to Denver for trial. Mo will also have Acne make e batch of fins texture (formerly Bcstex B) which can be shipped on a trial basis. As soon as you are satisfied that these products are acceptable in the market, \* will make the complete changeover at Acme. Ceorge Green is arranging to get raw materials to Akron so that wo can make limestone versions of these seno textures, 'll'.eio n'.iould also bo fluid tested, so please lot uo know where wo can hava them tried. Vo will es!t Akron to have someone follow these trials. Tha Akron textures are color matched with Acme's textures so shipcicuta can be interchanged, probably without oven being noticed, liowovor, until we get the present textures out of the pipeline, ve may bo vulnerable to color differences. The new textures will have all the advantages of better hiding end easier application la addition to having little or no asbestos in tho formula. Ibis should be a particular advantage these days. Tho <?ule!car the field results can be determined, the sooner we will have a new texture line. I trust that the new bags will bo ready when the change is made. CULtelz bcc: ' FOR MESSRS. RICHARDS. HOLLINGSWORTH. BRCT7N. RAUCH. AND MOSS; The economics of these textures are also favorable. SGP 0006413
