The business we are now booking is for delivery in late December and January. If you are planning any more classes or needs for more towels, it would be well to get your order placed as early as possible. The price would be the same, and deliveries would be as quoted above. It has been a real pleasure to serve you, Mr Allen. We hope that deliveries have been speedy enough for you. We certainly have pushed your order ahead of others.

Thank you for your kind letter of Scteber 31, tie de | appreciate the effort you made te deliver the towels to us as promptly as possible, and it helped to relieve a very vritical situation here, There is one thing, Mr. McArthur, that I want to tell you about. The tewels doen't seem to abserb the moisture very readily. They seem to have some sort of pulpy material in then. I am not trying to analyze the texture of the towele, but only stating what a number of our people have said - that they do net absorb the moisture. Perhaps repeated launderings will take care of thet. Very sincerely yours, | - Direester ef Physical Education, FCA: AH Varsity Bas 1 Coach.
