Dear Sir,
The Second Mechanical Handling Exhibition takes place at
Olympia, London, from 6th to 17th June 1950.
You will, I am sure, be aware of the exceptional interest
attaching to the subject of industrial mechanization at the present
time and will, therefore, readily appreciate the importance of this
Exhibition to Industrialists and all concerned with production. It
will be the largest display of labour-aiding equipment to be held
in any part of the world, comprising exhibits by all the principal
British manufacturers of mechanical handling plant.
In view of its importance as a means of attracting export
trade, we are anxious that the Exhibition shall receive world wide
publicity. For this reason, we would appreciate the assistance of
your department in making the Exhibition known in your area. Our
publicity material comprises display posters, gummed labels for
attaching to correspondence etc., and a descriptive brochure. Although
the posters and brochures will, of course, be predominantly in English
there will also be a small supply in French, Spanish, Portuguese and
German, and I should be glad to know what quantity (and language) you
would like for distribution. The correspondence label is printed in
English only, and any quantities of these can be supplied.
I am, Sir,
Yours very truly,
ivT CA'wV
Exhibition Manager.
