BROWN & SMITH COMPANY Washington, New Jersey May 1, 1940 McDaniels Clothing House 1820 N. E. Carroll Avenue Memphis, Tennessee Gentlemen: Enclosed is our order for cloth. As this is the first order we have given your company, we are also including references. We have an account with the First National Bank of Tacoma, and have done business for many years with the well-known firm of Brady and Thomas of your city. You are free to call on them for our credit rating. If possible, we should like to have our order filled within the next four days as we wish to start tailoring our fall suits at once. The terms, 10 per cent, net 30 days, are satisfactory to us. As you will notice from our order, we are planning to make up a quantity of suits in the new shades of red that are so popular this season. However, we should like to be supplied with samples of all new shades and materials as they come in. You have treated us so courteously in filling this initial order that we feel confident our business relations with you will be very satisfactory. Yours truly, BROWN & SMITH COMPANY Maurice Frank Clothing Department MF:FE Enclosure
