    Phone MAdison 2-6749 EMIL BROWN BUILDING 308 East Ninth Street LOS ANGELES 15, CALIFORNIA October 13th, 1959 Mr. Harry Goldenberg, The Sands, Inc., 950S Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, California Dear Mr. Goldenberg: Many thanks for all that you are doing t?? make our visit to Las Vegas so enjoyable. With regard to publicity, we would leave this to your discretion but a little attention in the hotel publication and release to the Las Vegas press would be very welcome. Mr. Peter Balfour is a Director of the very famous Scottish Brewers, Ltd., of Edinburgh, Scotland and they are introducing their famous Scotch Ale and Scotch Lager, samples of which you have tasted. They are also the owners of McPherson Cluny Scotch Whisky and these products are very successfully distributed by Simon Levi Company of Los Angeles for many years. If your hotel would indicate the name of your liquor supplier or importer in Las Vegas, we could furnish them with a quantity of these samples through this jobber or importer since this transfer must be made through licensed channels. Lady Grig el-la Balfour is Mr. Peter Balfour?╟╓s wife and she is the daughter of a Scottish Earl who is Lord Chancellor to the Queen Mother. This is the first visit made to the U.S.A. by Mr. Peter and Lady Grizella Balfour. Both of these very nice young people have relatives in the U.S.A. and at present they are visiting Mr. Balfour?╟╓s folks in Boston, Massachusettes and expect to visit Lady Grizella Balfour?╟╓s folks in Boulder, Colorado before coming to Las Vegas. The writer, whose main occupation is material damage appraiser on fire losses, is also the United States Agent for Scottish Brewers, Ltd., and Cluny Scotch Whisky. We trust that this is the information that you need and we also hope that you have made arrangements
