1935/12/11: [Norma Bryan] to Evelyn M. Rasch (3.109135)
Date: December 11 1935Creator: Bryan, Norma A.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Norma Bryan to Evelyn M. Rasch. She spoke with Mrs. Cudahy about the idea of sending out announcements of the new Administration Building to a broader group. She was not in favor of it. Mr. Dow didn't think the budget could handle printing more announcements. They were very interested in any lists of libraries, universities, high schools, nurseries, magazine editors that Rasch may have. She would like to add any contacts for her own similar lists to use for Bulletin subscriptions. She again requests the list of Cook County Cemetery Men to add to her list of 500 before the "big drive".
