GENTLEMEN ;

Replying to your recent letter regarding the many locks you
now have attached to baskets in your locker room, we wish to ad-
vise that from ypur description, you have locks which are of quite
a few years useage and the zine discs in the mechanism have pro-
bably swelled enough to swell tight against the pivot home in each
CASE.

If the above is true, you will not be able to move these knobs,
unless you put penetrating oil in each lock and allow it to sita
couple of days and then jar the kmobs 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 zinc after
a few years.

We would suggest that you cut these old locks off of the baskets
and mail in to our company. We will allow you .10¢ each for them to
apply on the purchase 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%.

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

Very truly yours,

C. T. MeGarry, dr.
