Time of Reading 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ill. (Business Questions)
1. EC: Yes, we have the enquiring mind [165], and those associations and relations in business. These we have had before. Now, respecting many of these, it would be well that some definite relation or attempt to correlate and understand the working principle of much as has been given, and more be gained in a definite, concise manner, rather than by piecemeal. Know something of what is desired to be given, as to the differentiation in conditions. Then more assistance may be given, rather than working in a line and wondering or assuming it to be straight. But ready for questions.
2. (Q) How do light rays affect health? (A) Well - this you might write nineteen books on and then not have finished the subject; yet it may be answered in such a way and manner as to understand. What would life be without light? Consider that one for a while! What is the necessity of light as related to the functioning of the sensory system? Get THAT! There is no functioning of any portion of the system which functions through the nervous system not affected by rays of light; or, in other words, life itself in manifested form is vibration, of which light is a part. Now GET THAT!
3. (Q) What percentage of vacuum will produce the ash mentioned in the best manner? (A) Eighty-three percent (83%).
4. (Q) Will the ash be used dry or dissolved, or as a paste or salve? (A) All of them!
5. (Q) What danger of burning do we face in our experiments with light rays? (A) Necessarily, anything that is to be helpful, an over indulgence in same is harmful. The experimentation must be made so that the effects of the various conditions individually may be recorded and this learned. This where

we may be of considerable assistance and help, but we must begin to work!
6. (Q) Can [3952] of Schenectady and [165] function together well in producing health lamp equipment? (A) They can.
7. (Q) Which interior decorators shall we first approach in New York? (A) There's a score of them! Any whom the individual, or individuals, would deem to be among the best.
8. (Q) Can Mr. Mooney be of assistance in connection with Marmon Company business? (A) Be of assistance in approach to those through whom the representations, as have been given, are accorded. Through Kirschbaum. [Bernard W. Kirschbaum]
9. (Q) What is the future for wicker radio cabinets? (A) Far in the future it may be valuable. At present not so much. Too much involved in the changes as are constantly being made in cabinets to be made PARTICULARLY valuable in the wicker at the present period, as we find.
10. (Q) Are the present plans of [165] satisfactory to approach Victor Talking Machine Company? (A) Very good. Work these, and then we will assist when you reach next man.
11. (Q) In what way can the designer, Paul R. Fortin, in New York help [165]? (A) In many ways. The regular channels for the designs as are to be set up for the various ones through whom, or whom the body approaches.
12. (Q) Where can [165] find two good finishing men to aid the Carolina Wood Products at this time in carrying out the finishing as required by Carolina's customers? (A) We won't find the men! Find these for self! Remember, there are, in finding men for work to be done, in its variations, different elements that must necessarily enter in. To find the men would be responsible for them. Each individual is responsible for himself. No outside influence may become responsible for an individual, save secularly. We wouldn't choose to do that from here.
13. (Q) Why has not [165] been able to prepare the preparation for the Carolina Wood Products to kill the white bloom or white spots that appear in the finish? (A) Now, this has been thoroughly gone into from other directions. There has been trouble, as has been given, in the manner in which the curing and plying of the wood to which the lacquer, varnish, fillers, were applied, and until there was a change in the manner and way in which these were gotten together there need not be expected the perfect

finish on same. Yet, as was given, would the Carolina Wood Products prepare the woods, the various portions of their products, under the SUPERVISION of those whom [165] might suggest through his own finishers, these would be eliminated with the products of the [165] & [5616] Company.
14. (Q) Should [165] prepare this in his laboratory or go personally to Carolina Wood Products at this time? (A) This is unnecessary, if that just given is considered. Necessary that [165], with finisher, see the preparation of the various woods that are to be finished. When there are those products used in the various plys as are given in finishes in an improper manner, or such products used that they produce in their activity themselves such conditions as have arisen, then these are necessarily the results - as has been. While at this present time, and under the present situation and conditions, is hardly an opportune time for such demonstrations, or such things to be worked out, on account of the illness in those superintending these surroundings and these conditions, yet the finishers - or the ones who are supervisors of finishing, may be dealt with very well, so that when the conditions are set aright the products of [165]'s own development may be used in this plant. But, as has been given, the fault in the bloom has been greatly on account of the manner in which some of the plys or the finishes have been given to the product, and, as has been given, would this be carried out in the manner as outlined we could overcome all of these conditions, and not at a greater expense to the Carolina Wood Products than is being expended, and less trouble from delivery of a finished product.
15. (Q) In the Lyon Metal Products Company with what individual should we work more closely? (A) The distributor of the product.
16. (Q) Who is the proper individual to work with in the Alaska Refrigerator Company? (A) Superintendant of products.
17. (Q) Will we succeed in our work with the Gibson Company? (A) We don't get this one.
18. (Q) Any further advice for this body at this time. (A) Start something! We are through. Copy to Self " " Association office " " Datastician " " Mrs. [1381]
