GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of
[
279], who is in Apt. ... of the Hotel ..., St., N.Y.C., and
his associates and associations, especially [
3861], [
257],
[
4171], and the affairs of the Pittsburgh Chemical Co., all
of N.Y., and the products of this company. You will answer
the questions which [
279] has submitted concerning these, as
I ask them.
EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [
279], his
associations and relations, and the conditions that are
apparent from those in the making, and as are relevant to
circumstances and conditions as respecting same. Ready for
questions.
(Q) Advise me how I can make an outstanding success with the
Pittsburgh Chemical Co., of 11 W. 42nd St., N.Y.
(A) Get the orders!
(Q) What caused the situation between [
4171] and me?
(A) Misunderstanding, mis-interpretation of the acts of the
body, and the acts of others associated in the same company.
(Q) How can I build [
4171]'s confidence for future
successful association?
(A) By there being a perfect understanding between all
parties concerned in ANY associations and relations.
(Q) What accounts in N.Y. should I concentrate on?
(A) As is seen from here, there have been some connections
made for some particular accounts or associations. These
are with the larger associations of housing, and the like,
and would be the ones to contact. The products that will be
of particular interest to the body, that have to do those
things and conditions that the body knows most about by
experience, this branch, this portion OF the products should
the body make the specialty on - see? [Household products?]
(Q) Can I sell all the accounts or leads that Mr. [
3861]
has offered to give me?
(A) Those especially that are in line with that as has been
given, that the body knows most of and understands the most
about - see?
(Q) Is that the cleaning products? [Question submitted by
GC.]
(A) Ask the body! Don't ask me!
(Q) What should Mr. [
3861]'s connections be with the
associates [
4171], [
257] and myself?
(A) As has been outlined, that better [if there were] were
there the full determination as to those that control in the
present, making their OWN minds as to what is to be done WITH
the company - whether for quick return (and a sale), or
whether it is to be carried on as a manufacturing or
distributing, or distributing AND manufacturing portion - and
then should the associations (and only if it's to be carried
on through the associations) be most beneficial, and as a
member of the ORIGINAL corporation. A division for
distribution OR for manufacturing is to make disorders, that
will sooner or later bring troubles. Either be one or the
other! Don't carry water on both shoulders!
(Q) How long will it take me to earn a livlihood from my
sales?
(A) Depends on how hard the body works!
(Q) How can [
257] assist me in development of business and
sales?
(A) First there must be the better understanding as to what
it's all about, and not in the JUMBLE that it is in as YET!
What the company is to do, what it's expansion is to be, what
is to be the products, how distributed and how manufactured,
what is to be, THROUGH WHOM these are to be shipped, what the
relationship is to be with the whole of the organization!
In fact, it has NOT been PERFECTED where it CAN be
successful, as YET!
(Q) How can [
4171] help me succeed?
(A) As has been given, they had ALL better sit down and get
the thing straightened out, know what they want to do and be
capable of doing it! To be sure, it is an exceptional
product, there are profits in same, and it IS going ahead -
but with the present policies, present conditions, those who
KNOW - how far may it go?
(Q) What error did I make in discussing Pittsburgh Chemical
business with Charles Barkley, a chemist in Pittsburgh
Chemical Co. employ?
(A) This the manner in which it was told others, made the
appearance of there being information sought for OTHER
sources.
(Q) What was Barkley's reason for going to [
257] and [
4171]
and discussing the matter?
(A) This has been given.
(Q) Does my present attitude warrant the confidence of [
257]
and [
4171]?
(A) Not until things are straightened out, as has been
given.
(Q) If Mr. [
3861] joins [
257] and [
4171], should it be in
the Pittsburgh Chemical Co. or in the new company discussed
by [
257], [
4171] and [
3861]?
(A) Pittsburgh Chemical Company, and then the decision made
as to what is to be done. If they are to organize new
companies for distribution OR for manufacture, or for
different branches of the product, well and good! But let
it ALL be from the ORIGINAL basis! unless we want to have
disorders later on, or string someone!
(Q) What would be a good name of the new company, using
Mr. [
3861]'s name as part?
(A) Depends upon what the product IS to be, and the like!
WE wouldn't form a new company, as yet!
(Q) What is the ability of [
257] in handling sales of a
business of this type?
(A) It's very good!
(Q) What is the ability of [
4171] in managing a business of
this kind?
(A) Very good, though he has to be watched - as most all the
rest of 'em!
(Q) What activity should [
3861]'s son have with the new
business I have discussed with his father?
(A) Depends upon HOW the set-up or association is to be, and
as to whether he should have an activity in the distribution,
manufacture, or certain particular TERRITORIES for
distribution - see? Good man!
(Q) Any further advice that will be of help and benefit to
[
279] regarding any of this?
(A) First, do not be over-anxious about the situation. Get
it straight in self's own mind as to the conditions that
exist, as to those feelings of distrust as do exist - from
some things that have been said or passed, and ANALYZE self
and self's relationship, then come to a proper understanding
about it all. We are through for the present.
