from your first days response Today Saturday we are all
buried beneath your mall kilograms and orders ana may DC
DAYS before we can even open the mail and assert the orders
we have while next week and week after, when the pun

mail and orders will be tremendous.
The fact that have lot of about 10000 orders with
checks cash. money orders and stocks attached lett over TO-

thus enabling holders to get in fair.
Second-As the tremendous future buying crowds the

every buyer sending late Wednesday limit his

buyers who demand the pamphlets before ordering the stock
