great value are going to trouble and expense
in getting up offers Of special inducements and
concessions. Will you permit us to use your
columns in making such statement as will
save our friends and representatives from any
further anxiety or trouble on this score.
No essential part OF the machinery necessary
to produce complete machines was destroyed
We are today turning out full quota OF all our
regular and special machines and filing all
orders IL regular course.
We are already rebuilding the comparatively
| small section of the building which was DAM
| aged (aIl buildings save that one being I'M
touched) and we are rapidly replacing the
machinery for needles and accessories which
| was destroyed. Even of these we shall have a
sufficient supply to fill all orders.
| We therefore expect to carry on our works
| without material interruption just where they
are, and any present attempt to remove would
| cause more Inconvenience than the fire.
