Show BROWNING é ST. ARMS LOUIS, COMPANY MO. March Mr. EB. G Mr. 1931. Bennett, First Security Ogden, Utah. Dear Sth, Corpe, Bennett: Yours of February y 26th rerarding & £& inquiries, q You will be interested to know, as we were to discover, that the names sent to us by owners should have attention faster than we have been able to give it. We are beginning to receive a number of letters from owners inquiring why we have not sent catalogues to their friends, Similar letters are also being received from those to whom catalogues should be sent, Todaywe had a long distance call from over in Illinois from a Browning owner who advised that several of his friends had asked him repeatedly why we had not sent catalogues as he had requested us to do, Upon further inguiry I find that most of these names are coming from small places and it looks as if our owners are not énly sending us the names but advising those to whom the catalogues will be sent, that they have sent their names and these fellows are evidently looking for the catalogues. This is, of course, a wnolesome condition and we are, therefore, lending our top efforts to handling these names as fast as possible. Unfortunately, we are now out of automatic catalogues and slill have to wait for a new supply which is now being printed. Within ten days or two weeks we shall have all of these names taken care of, unless, of course, Superposed inquiries come in fast, in which event we shall simply have to hire more girls. With kind regards, : pincer : Ne@es { y, |
