Gentlemen:

Replying to your recent letter regarding the many
locks you now have attached to baskets in your locker room,
we wish to advise that from your description, you have locks
which are of quite a few years useage and the zine dises in
the mechanism have probably swelled enough to swell tight
against the pivot hole in each case.

If the above if true, you will not be able to move these
knobs, unless you put penetrating oil in each lock and allow
it to sit a couple days and then jar the knobs in various
directions in an effort to loosen. We are leary of your being
able to obtain much success however, as shower room atmosphere
has odd effect on zine after a few years..

We would suggest that you cut these old locks off of the
baskets and mail in to our company. ie will allow you .10¢
each for them to apply on the purhcase price of an equal number —
or more new locks for old locks traded-in. The new locks we
have are illustrated on enclosed folder and we guarantee these
locks 3 years 100 jo6

It is extremely difficult tO obtain locks at the present
time and we think that you have better make your decision on
lock requirements immediately in ofder to assure you of delivery.
We trust the above offer meets with your approval and awaiting |
your favoured reply, we remain,

Very truly yours, _
THE J. B. MILLER KEYLESS LOCK COMPANY
