ETHYL GASOLINE CORPORATION TORONTO, Ontario. 167 Thornton Avenue, London, Ont ario, January 21st, 1939. Mr A. S. Olver. Dear Bert On November 8th, 1937 I 'wrote you a report on an alleged lead poisoning case in Blemheim, that of Mr, former tank wagon driver for Thayer's. On November ~l8th., 1937, I had a letter advising that Dr. Kehoe was writing to Dr. Story of Blenheim in regard to this case. I was speaking to Mr. McPherson, Sales Manager for Thayer's, this morning, and he said that Mr.^mpis now tanking gasoline for Visco in the Blenheim district and has taken some of their customers. Mr, MacPherson 3aid that they would like to have I.ir.^JJjP^come back and work for them again, as hejans quite a following in this district, and apparently Mr. ^J^would bo willing to do this except for the fact that Dr. Story has warned him against handling leaded gasoline again. Sir. KacFherson also said that a Mr. Springsteen, who works in a garage in Blenheim, claims to have sold gasoline to one of the Ethyl Gasoline Laboratory employees from Detroit, who, in conversation afterwards told Mr. Springsteen that the Ethyl Corporation maintained a staff of nurses and Doctors in various parts of the States to take care of lead poisoning cases. Mr. MacPherson claims' that these instances have done them considerable harm around Blemheim, and would like to have some definite assurance that Mj*. ^fc^would not suffer by again engaging in the delivery of leadec^asoline. Has there beer' any correspondence between Dr. Kehoe and Dr. Story which would give us sufficient information to clear up this matter? Yours very truly, Sgd.-P. B. IfocEwen. Ki 0021759
