MONSANTO CHEMICAL COMPANY EXECUTIVE OFFICES, ST. Louis, M1issouRL ORGANIC CHEMICALS Division Sr. Louis, Missouri January 8, 1942 TO OUR CHLORINE CUSTOMERS The Office of Production Management have placed Chlorine under 100% allocation. We expect to take care of our customers in the usual manner during Januery, but needs must be guided by allotments specified by OPM beginning with the month of February. We are, therefore, attaching one copy of "Instructions for Preparation of Form PD-190" and four copies of Form PD-190. Please note that persons requiring Chlorine must place their orders with us on or before the 10th day of the month preceding that in which they require Chlorine. Therefore, the forms should be in our hands by January 10 covering the Chlorine required for February. Only a small quantity of instructions and forms have been received, so we have had additional forms printed. We realize that time will not allow all customers to forward to us the 10th of January, but please rush them as soon es possible, and we will try to get them in to the Office of Production Management so that they can determine your February allotment. We are informed this method of securing Chlorine must pe followed each month until further notice. MONSANTO CHEMICAL COMPANY TJS :MM
