TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [257]; this we have had before.
2. In the physical forces of the body, as we find there are some changes. These in the main are for the better.
3. There should be kept, in a consistent manner, those exercises, those activities, those adherences to diet as related to the local conditions; and as we find we should keep - in this manner - much nearer to normal conditions.
4. To be sure, when there is the aggravating of the weaknesses or tendencies towards disturbances, there is the natural response.
5. When there are those activities of indiscretions as related to cold or drafts, these react upon the system.
6. For the laws of nature and of natural physical reactions are activative in the influences of each entity.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What is the rectal condition at the present time?
   (A) This shows some improvement.
9. (Q) What is the intestinal condition?
   (A) This, as indicated, has been at times overstrained. As we find, the Agar activity would be very well to keep the eliminations - if it is taken just occasionally.
10. (Q) Is there any need of further treatments of any kind?
    (A) As indicated, the body needs to keep those precautions and make those applications as conditions arise - to meet the disturbances that are caused by indiscretions at times.
11. (Q) Please review the situation between Birchfield of Montgomery, Pa., who is one of the main men in the City and [257] and the proposed tie-up for sales representation at this factory.
    (A) Here we find an individual condition. There is as much need for the use of [257] for the factory as the factory for [257], yet there are the needs of capital as well as an outlet for the factory.
    There needs then to be taken by [257] precautions as to involving self as to any definite amount, whether as to orders or as to the type or character of the product that is to be produced by the factory.
    If these situations are kept then well in hand, these as we find may be in the immediate present of a better association than the attempting to rebuild or to make such an outlet in the Chichester associations. However, if there are the abilities of [257] to interest outlets in aiding in the capital to assure - not that it overlaps but to assure - that there would be sufficient activity and an interesting and a worth while proposition, then Chichester would be better.
12. (Q) What is the best plan of operation for [257] to lay out between these people and himself?
    (A) That these people would furnish such of materials as may be given by [257] in the form of orders - this the better representation.
13. (Q) What kind of contract should [257] enter into as to his future relations with this factory?
    (A) Whatever seemeth well, provided there is not that phase of same overstepped as indicated; that is, making [257] responsible for so much irrespective of what type or character of product is made - this would become disturbing.
    Because these conditions, as indicated, are needed; not only moneys but orders.
14. (Q) Is this factory more suitably located for manufacturing purposes than the Chichester situation?
    (A) As just indicated, if it involves [257] by becoming responsible, the Chichester would be better provided there can be those connections made. However, this - if it is made in the manner indicated - would be well to consider.
15. (Q) Considering the difference of the financial responsibility, is [257] better off in Pennsylvania?
    (A) Better off, because of the conditions as indicated.
16. (Q) How long will it take [257] to work out the Pennsylvania plant if he gives it immediate and proper attention?
    (A) By fall.
17. (Q) Should [257] attempt to put the Philco business in this factory as he has been invited to do business with them?
    (A) This would be very good, for the proof of how and what may be expected by the whole operations.
18. (Q) Will G.E. and Stewart Warner work together in this same factory?
    (A) This depends upon the manners in which the handling of the output is taken care of. No reason why that they shouldn't as we find, if there are the proper understandings given in the activities.
19. (Q) Will Stewart Warner be interested in putting financial help in the Montgomery plant or would it be better to talk to them only about the Chichester situation?
    (A) In either case, these as we find are questionable - as to whether there would be advances for aid in financing same; though this as we find is merely a problem.
20. (Q) What is the advantage of the Pennsylvania plant at the present time, if any?
    (A) Just as has been stated, in the financial situation or responsibility in which [257] is placed.
21. (Q) How much money will the City of Montgomery be able to put up if [257] handles the matter correctly?
    (A) This will not be more than sufficient to insure the opening of the factory.
22. (Q) Please give [257] any advice that he must have.
    (A) This has been iterated and reiterated as to the manners and ways, and these as we find in forming policies of same must be adhered to, and not changed so oft.
23. (Q) Who should [257] have associated with him if he takes on this plant at Montgomery?
    (A) Whoever can fill those places that are necessary as the representation of [257] in the character of work, the character of finish, and in the time element that goes with same.
24. (Q) Please give [257] any information that he should have to guide and direct him in the proper set-up for carrying out the plans he has in mind for building radio cabinets for the customers for whom he has formerly done business.
    (A) This is the same as given above; just do not involve self personally too much.
25. (Q) Should William Dunn of Manufacturers Trust be associated with [257] in this matter and if so in what capacity?
    (A) This depends upon William Dunn rather than [257]. This can be worked out but only as a representative of financial help or aid.
26. (Q) Is it better to work with Hughes or Erlicher or Baker of the G.E. Co. or a combination of which men?
    (A) Baker.
27. (Q) Any other advice at this time?
    (A) Form the plans that have so oft been indicated. Do not overlook the little things and the details that are so hard oft for [257] to adhere to. For the little things make up the whole as a situation, rather than that as may be impressive as a whole. For it is brick by brick that a wall or a building is built. So with a business. So with associations and connections; there cannot be allowed leaks or loops, or not the proper basis for the whole situations. And as has been given, unless these are mentally, spiritually, constructive, the final outcome cannot be other than mediocre or a failure.
28. We are through for the present.
