DEAR SIR:-Within the past two or three weeks we have received quite a large volume of business for export and because of the short period of time we have left of this fire it will be impossible to complete these orders. They are largely for special shapes of chimneys which are not in use in this country and hence their production will not affect the domestic market. They are all made in moulds and would not be saleable abroad if made in any other manner, hence their manufacture is not in any sense in competition with the hand shops in this country. We are satisfied that quite a number of deserving workmen would be pleased of an opportunity to go to work prior to the middle of August and for their benefit as well as our own and the convenience of our customers abroad, we wish to ask if our factory could not be permitted to resume on this class of goods as soon as our repairs are completed. We anticipate that about three weeks will be required for the making of our repairs, so that we could not be in shape to resume before about the first of August. We would make only goods for the export trade and we venture to make the assertion that any encouragement your Organization can give to the building up of export business will result beneficially to your members. If the foreign trade cannot be supplied in America they will build factories in other countries, but on the other hand if our American factories are in position at this time to supply them with the goods they need they will not be very likely to seek other business connections, and the trade sɔ established will in all probability prove to be lasting. Kindly give this matter your careful attention. W. J. WAMBAUGH, Secretary. TOLEDO, O., June 28, 1915. Mr. W. J. Wambaugh, Star City, W. Va. DEAR SIR:Your letter of the 25th inst. at hand. I will hand the same to Secretary Clarke who will read your request to our Columbus convention, and in all probability they will refer the matter to the Chimney Committee for their decision. As soon as action is taken on your request by the Chimney Committee, and our Columbus convention, Secretary Clarke will notify you of the same. Motion to refer to Chimney Committee.
