BRITISH INDUSTRIES EAIR 1959.
Publicity Matter.
Eor the last two years supplies of British Industries
Pair publicity literature have been issued to overseas
officers on the basis of former requirements, but instances
have occurred where these supplies have been found to be
inadequate and additional orders have occasionally had to
be placed at relatively higher prices than the basic
figures at which the original contracts have been concluded.
In order to avoid so far as may be practicable the
extra expense involved in requisitioning these additional
supplies, it would be appreciated if overseas officers
would consider carefully the quantities necessary to enable
them to carry out effectively their respective publicity
campaigns and notify the Department of their requirements
at the earliest possible moment. A requisition form for
this purpose is attached.
In the event of the return not being received by the
date by which it is imperative that the orders for the
literature must be put in hand, the quantities of each type
of material sent in connection with the 1938 Pair will be
repeated for the forthcoming Pair.
