Should any branch place an order after June 1 please do not accept. We will send you a list of customers who have purchased on a third party basis from these locations during 1979 and be happy to make any assistance in turnovers on accounts in these locations as you see fit. Joe, there is certainly nothing personal on this decision as we certainly value your relationship and all you have done to promote your product line. We thank you for many years of dedication and support and wish you continued success. Cordially, Robert V. Mann Vice President-General Manager Industrial Chemical Division KVM/cs *
