Burns Victor Divisions - Dana Corporation P. O. Box 1333 Chicago, Illinois 60690 Dear Bob: In all probability the tentative ideas we suggested in your offices in September toward acquiring the Smith Kanzler Company have long since been negated by the Dana manage ment. This is fine, and I'm just dropping you this note to make sure both parties.are dropping the proposed program. ' '' As a matter of fact, since that meeting in your office early in September, we have been doing a lot of checking into the fireproofing field. The more we have learned, the more we' have become disenchanted. I hasten to add that this is in no way a reflection on Smith & Kanzler Company, but there are too many factor involved in promoting and selling the material that would not mesh with our present capabilities. *; I do want to thank'you, Bob, for your interest and efforts toward getting something worked out. Getting to know you was a pleasure for me. One of these fine days I would hope we might still get in that second game of golf. ACB:& . , Albert C.
