.* vS- An a c o n d a Co p p e r Min in g Co mp a n y 25 Broadway, New York August 29, 1946 Ur. R. E. Dwyer, Executive Tice President Anaconda Copper Mining Company Building- Dear Mr. Dwyer: In view of our various discussloi regarding the liquidation of the pigment business, u will be interested in some figures I have Just ot ined from East Chicago* As you know, durlnj t two months the work of Ur. Hurless' Departs a men in the field has been coordinatejijritl that we would dispose of all markej cks and lead-in-oil as soon as neiaible. I am glad to all stocks in ware- houses through tes have been liquida- ted with the ptio?sAA,6KJse on the Pacific Coast.! It is possibl hat thAgrekter majority of the Pacific Coast to] 11 be libwf^ted by September 1st, but iWlll be EdmA-tin hand for sale in in ma/w places on the Coast, the nd of course is not as great he United States. This situation ties, particularly with the special xide or White Lead that move rather conditions. At'East Chicago all the Mixed Metals, Dry ,Whi.fce'Lead; and Lead-in-Oil have been sold, and there la Only 128 tons of Zinc Oxide left. Most of this Oxide will move out in August but some will probably have to be sold in September because the entire ton nage consists of special Oxides that are not consumed on a volume bases. In view of the many grades involved in numerous warehouses, 1 believe that the sales force under Mr. Hurless have done an excellent Job in li quidating the tonnage as fast as they have. lour^-very truy^ 9-.
