(Q) What can [
257] do to induce Dunning of G.E. to visit
Showers Bros. Co. with him?
(A) Presenting the necessity for such, not only for the
patterns, designs, finish, but for the better general
conditions; not only for the activities and associations of
[
257], in his assurance for the carrying out of the
obligations, but also for the price range and the
arrangements for all the various models and associations of
same.
(Q) How much will prices have to be reduced on the -
(A) (Interrupting) About four percent. [EC said "Fourteen
percent" but [
257] insisted that I write it four percent.
GD.]
(Q) (Continuing) to get G.E. business?
(A) On some models.
(Q) On the consoles?
(A) On the consoles.
(Q) Will Dunning give Showers the business?
(A) If Dunning is present, yes.
(Q) Will Showers take the order?
(A) Take the order.
(Q) Will [
257] have to go to Bridgeport again before going
west?
(A) Not as we find.
(Q) Should [
257] place all the orders through G.E. with
Showers?
(A) This would depend upon whether the activities with
Dunning or through which the orders are coming are
acceptable as well to those in authority for receiving of
same. As we find, it would be better for the smaller numbers
to be placed elsewhere.
(Q) Would it be advisable to place them with Morgantown
Furniture Co.?
(A) With Morgantown, the smaller numbers.
(Q) Will Showers Bros. build proper quality to please G.E.?
(A) As we find, it is their intention. As to what will
happen, of course, this is speculative. As we find, yes.
(Q) Will Showers Bros. thru Mr. Guy Burnett give [
257] a
fair opportunity to build a future with them?
(A) A fair opportunity to build with the association or
organization.
(Q) Will they continue through the years to allow him to
work with them -
(A) (Interrupting) Will through the next two years, at
least. Then there will be changes.
(Q) What contract should [
257] have with Showers Bros. to
protect him and that no misunderstanding will arise?
(A) That his business will be taken care of in the manner in
which it was first set out by the first associations or
connections through Williams and other connections.
(Q) What are [
257]'s possibilities with the Showers Bros.
connections?
(A) Very good. It's much preferable, as we find in the
present, to make for these activities to force issues as in
connection with the Carolina activities than waiting or
depending upon them for the activities with any of the other
associates that have been contemplated. And through the same
association or connection, or with Thompson - or with some of
the others - there may be had a portion of their business
which may be placed with a the connections that [
257] is
making with Showers.
(Q) Will Saturday be a good time for [
257] to start with
Dunning to Showers plant to spend Sunday and Monday?
(A) Very good.
(Q) Will Monday and Tuesday of next week be good days for
[
257] to meet Isaac Orr at St. Louis to discuss medicine
situation for a new sale?
(A) [
257] should never meet Isaac Orr until there has been
with the attorneys of [
257] worked out the correct agreement.
For to undertake to sell or to make contacts with Orr,
proposing to sell, until there is the proper understanding or
agreement with all those associated and connected, would only
make for entanglements. Do THIS first!!
We are through.
