THE TEXAS CQMPMI Tallahassee, Florida
February 9, 1950
I am writing you for a little information. I understand that you had a lot of trouble getting your product on the marxet because of the trouble you had in laboratory and the government did not want it put on market due to harm it causes to mankind. I understand you were to take every precaution for safety and that if any storage tanks were to be cleaned you send one of your men to supervise the job.
haven't seen one of your men on job for over 3 years but we been cleaning torage tames just the same. And there -ere no safety measures and sometime not even a gas mask, just go in tank, clean it out. The only tool you had was a broom. How I am in bad condition and company wants to throw me out and get another man to do same work. I been maintenance for them going on 9 years and help is plentiful now.
Please advise me what to do. Sue your company, sue my company, or sue the man give order for work to be done.
