r *-foa Mr. Frank Strong: Referring to your letter March £7, file 7334, regarding assignment of lease from Ira J. Earl to McQuay Supply xn checking up at the freight house X find the rail shipments by the Supply Company heretofore hare not been very extensive, although Ira Earl has averaged one oar of coal per month and six oars of fuel oil per month this winter. In conversation with Ceorge Johnson, manager of McQuay Supply today, he advises the scarcity of rail shipments by his company in the past has been due to the difficulty they have encountered in securing pipe and plumbers supplies. However he has the agency for Quaker State Oil which was transferred to him when he purchased Ira Earl*a business and he estimates shipments of this commodity alone will amount to six earloads per year from the East, In addition to acetylene tanks, plumbers supplies and fittings he will receive from the West. MeQuay Supply is a well-established business here and I recommend the assignment of the lease be approved. Lae Vegas ~ March 30, 1943 WALTER R7 BRACKEN ?t ’r cc - Mr. A. C. Ridder
