TO OUR CHLORINE CUSTOMERS:

In order that you may obtain your Chlorine requirements in any
given month, it will be necessary for you to fill out a PD-190
form, returning the original and two copies, along with your
regular purchase order, to this office by the 10th of the month
preceding that in which you require delivery.

We have found from the application orders we have received

so far that there has been some misinterpretation, and in order
to clarify some of the most commonly misinterpreted Sections,
we offer the following suggestions, using a March order as an
example: .

Section 3: "Stocks of Chlorine on hand last day of previous
month:" (This should be your stock as of Jan.31.)

"Quantity of Chlorine to be delivered during
month:" (This is the Chlorine you expect to
receive from us during February. )

Total the above and give the estimated length
of time, in days, this quantity will last. If
this indicates an increased amount of Chlorine
above your past consumtpion, please explain this
in Section 9 of the form.

Section 6: This should be the quantity of Chlorine you are
ordering for March.

Section 7: Give the delivery date, or dates, on which you
require the Chlorine requested in Section 6.

Section 8: If you have various ratings, please list each
separately showing the quantity that may be given
that rating. Place all A ratings under Defense
Orders, and all B ratings under Civilian Orders.

You will probably not have any trouble filling out the other
Sections, but if you do have any questions, please write us.

To prevent the possibility of future Forms, and correspondence
regarding these Forms, from going astray, we should appreciate
your giving us the name of the person to whom we should address
any correspondence on this subject.

Thanks for your cooperation.
Very truly yours
