ation you wish concerning
our experiences with the A. B. C. Company, about whom you
inquire in your letter of April 9th.

The company first came to us on November 8, 1920. On that
date they purchased from us 50 lawn mowers at a total cost of
$500. They took advantage of the discount by paying the bill
on November 18th.

In January, 1921, they gave us an order for 100 at a total
cost of $900. This bill they paid in February.

Their latest purchase from us was in July, 1921. At this time
their order amounted to 25 lawn mowers. They paid the bill in
October after we had sent them several requests for
remittance.

We trust this information will be of some value to you in
determining just what amount of credit you may feel justified
in extending to them.

Very truly yours,
(Handwritten) _H. Plum_,
Plum Brothers.
