Air Mail Service ^ tTuly 18, 195? Mr. Al Freeman The Sands Hotel Highway #91 Las Vegas, Nevada.,1-f- ! ^| ?√ß ?√ß *| Dear Al, Forgive the delay in sending you a very hearty thank you for your last letter. Am enclosing six copies of the one photo we were able to shoot with Virginia Page here at the studio. At the time of her visit we had just the one picture shooting on the lot. And, believe it or not, it has taken all this time to get prints out of our lab. I received a nice report from Larry Murphy of TWA, San Francisco, after Virginia left for home. They had some very nice coverage on her up there - not anything like you got but very good with mentions of LV, etc. Al, we appreciate very much your indication that you would like to join us for future tie-ups. We have promotion tie-up people coming through all the time but I think that we should nave a chat about it whenever we can and come up with a very special project geared from the start to suit you and to provide promotion for you wherever you choose most valuable in the world. In other words Al, I can tell you that we are open to any proposition and I believe that you and I can get it started aimed at a particular target to suit you. We have about 125 offices in all parts of the world ?╟÷ you choose the area where you would like publicity for The Sands, for example, and we*11 carry on from there. Great Britain, Italy, France, Brazil, Australia, etc, ? Let* s take Australia. (Just one country out of the blue but we have a real wide-awake operation down there and they get fantastic coverage on tie-ups.) We could lively make some sort of round-robin tie-up with an airline (Qantas Empire Airways?) the Macquarie Network of Australia, etc., providing major expenses such as trasportation* (I have often thought of trying to make a mutual promotion deal with Matson Navigation. I don?╟╓t know that they do much in this line but the next time I*m in San Francisco I?╟╓m going to sound them out. They might be another contact.)
