We should like to express to you at this time our
appreciation for the business with you during 1950

contract to furnish you with the other products, we
asked him if he would like to make the delivery of
the Ethyl and he agreed to do this at our bid. The
amount of Ethyl gasoline used by the city does,not
warrant two distributors making deliveries.
Thanking you again, we remain
