' Dear Carry: pith the corapleticn of the obsex*va flora oil Dr. crane, at the Lubrito plant in Most Gt. Louis, and vith hue preparation of a report covering these ohcorvui. 1.cm;, v/c 'nave reached a point, I believe, at which ve will have a pet together arid cone to some bejlinite conclusion concerning the equipment v;hich has jo n designed by i'roportioneerc, Inc. Various representatives of theirs have been pressing me periodically for save blue far a decision as to what they can do and how it: can be do no. They are very anxious to have setae decision within the next thirty a ays which will enable them to know whether they are justified in proceding with this equipment and making additional investment, or whether they had better fold up and quit. Obviously, I do not warn: to :e .laced on the spot, nor <uo I wish to make an arbitrary decision, I think, therefore, we should ,_;et togetner and that, per haps, you, Oscar, hues el Stoll, and myself together with pen Ciare should sit darn and discuss this whole r.-robi cr ane. its iciplicatiou so as to decide whan wo whll do. remaps, we snail wish to r h e o s the natter as a .roop with represen ta fives of Proper pioneers, as v ..11 us Cocony Vacuum, In any case vo should have our own policy developed before talking with then, out we should acquaint tr en o' th our policy at the earliest possible tl e, Day T suggest, there fore, the acivisabl ].ity of an early meeting "n few York on this and eer'tak: other 'asters which have developed.
