EXHIBIT NO. 21 WE COVER THE GLOBE WITH QUALITY PRINTING OF EVERY DESCRIPTION WIDE PRESS SYNDICATE 763 SAW MILL RIVER ROAD A COMPLETE BOOK NEWSPAPER LETTERPRESS & LITHOGRAPHY PLANT June 12, 1956 Mr. Stanley Thompson stahley Thompson Associates 141 East 25th Street New York 10, New York Dear Sir: As I told you over the telephone today, I am greatly disturbed about a complaint received from the United Brotherhood of Carpenters alleging that the Hutcheson biography was not printed in a 100% union plant. The complainant alleges that the composing room of said plant is non-union that only the press room is signed-up with a local of the Pressmens' and Assistants' Union. when we entered into our agreement for the printing and binding of the Hutcheson book it was clearly specified that the production would have to be handled in a 100% union shop and we willingly agreed to pay the proposed price over and above those submitted by non-union printers. Evidently, the man who complained to Mr. Hutcheson sought to do us injury and it is important therefore that we obtain from you the necessary proof to confirm the fact that our book was printed under 100% union conditions and that we didn't misrepresent the truth when we imprinted our union bug "5" (World Wide Press) thereon. Trusting that you will transmit this information to us within a week, I remain |
