Gentlemen:
-Attention of Mr. Lee-
Doubtless the enclosed clippings concerning trouble
at the Waterbury Clock Shop are not news to you. We would
be glad to have your comments, however, on this situation,
as of course it is very disturbing.
We understand there are quite a few radium clocks
now being sold at retail for one dollar. We do not be-
lieve the clock makers can get these on to the market
to retail at one dollar profitably, without dropping down
on the grades. Can you advise us if other makers are now
dropping down on the grades of material used.
Yours very truly,
THE E. INGRAHAM COMPANY.
EI.CKS.
Purchasing Agent.
WE SELL THE WHOLESALE TRADE ONLY
