TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the information given [335], of ... St., New York City, and his business connections and associations; also the information given him May 25th in regard to changes in his affairs, together with his letter of June 5th containing questions regarding this earlier information. You will please answer the questions which I will ask for him in an effort to clarify this information.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, and the information that has been presented for consideration.
3. In the seeking to interpret and to understand that given, well that all conditions which have transpired in relation to that having to do with the present associations and connections, as well as tentative offers for consideration that have been accepted in a tentative way and manner, be considered.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Please give specific examples of the conditions that exist in his present business that will lead to unsatisfactory conditions for him.
   (A) In that there has been maintained such enormous losses in varied industrial and kindred associations, in dealings in stocks, there have arisen many questions as to the manner in which all organizations (such as the one with which [335] is connected) list the various stocks, and as to who is responsible for the issues of same. And all those conditions that alter the modes of handling such, then, produce the scope of activity on the part of such organizations - and these resorts that arise from the manners in which these would have to be handled, changed, or carried in varied ways and manners, would not be wholly in keeping with the policies and activity of the body [335] himself.
   Hence there must be a definite curtailment in the returns, through activities in this field of endeavor and associations. See?
   While in those fields of activity with Pabst interest and associates, that would deal not only in general brewing but in the importing and exporting of such products, there would be offered for the body a much more satisfactory condition in many ways and manners, as we find.
   Then, to be sure, these are the better conditions at the present time, as we find.
6. (Q) Is Mr. [335] familiar with this condition existing in his business, regarding the listing of stocks? as just given?
   (A) He is acquainted with these changes that have gradually been imposed, through legislations that AFFECT these activities; and that are GRADUALLY going into effect.
7. (Q) What losses would be undergone in the firm?
   (A) Losses sustained by the curtailment of the amount of exchange in the stocks as a whole, see? Instead of a three - from half to three - from half to three million share exchange with the various offices handling their share, and the curtailments must be - and with the activities, or the requirements in the activities, the loss must be - at least from forty to sixty percent of a NORMAL business.
8. (Q) What is meant by the methods that would have to be used to sustain profits?
   (A) The conditions that have just been given; the necessity of using this or that method, as to the warranty or guarantee of the activities of such stocks that would be active under such conditions. And to do this would be, as we have given, against the principles of the body itself.
9. (Q) Please give the full name of the brewery proposition which would be the best?
   (A) Pabst. See, it's in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - New York.
   And these are the holdings, as well as those in some middle west interests controlled through the same, as well as southern and - Because, you see, there's to be a return, of course, of the general brewing activities in America.
10. (Q) Any advice to Mr. [335] regarding the time that would be best to enter the brewery business?
    (A) Make the preparations now, as the associations and connections may be made on better terms than when this has begun in the larger scale - or way and manner.
11. (Q) Any other advice at this time?
    (A) This should clarify the situation, as presented.
12. We are through for the present.
