Bill Eockay December 22, 1981 PaE= Develop a "name" for Scars Brakes, ala DieHard and Muzzier. Study deeper the feasibility of some of our better sellers being bulk packed so the stores could pull shoes, pads, hydraulics and hardware from a master carton instead of "pirating" from AIO kits and having busted kits around the auto centers. Also, they could take care of warranty and comeback adjustments without, again, "pirating" the AIO kits. Start thinking about what you can. Get Nuturn chinking and expanding r on the materials already prepared. Get together what materials you know are readily available to offer assistance in compiling answers. Then, the early part of January, we can sit down to formulate plans. Very truly yours. AND CO. F. F/AndelbratN Buyer Departments 62& FFA/dim cc R. Ferguson, D/628 C. Burkhead,- Maremont Corp.
