We expect this to have major repercussions in the way structural steel build ings are fireproofed. We would like an opportunity to have you meet with our fireproofing manager, Mr. Tom Egan, or the Zonolite marketing manager, Mr. J. Nelson Beveridge. If at all convenient, we could meet at a place of your choosing on a day that is favorable for both parties. Our eeason for contacting you at this time is to acquaint you with these developments, which grew out of the tremendous concern over pollution. ) * ^ 6125 I* there a time that would be acceptable for an' appointment for you, possibly the week of May 25th. .
