In view of these conditions, and that in the interest of the trade generally, we ire engaged now In tenting such laws in everal Stales, and because of delnys. innoyance and expense of law suits, we lave determined tlint, in the face of those laws, which to seriously affect tlie per manency of any arrangement by which ho manufacturer undertakes to Iwnelil he dealer, and which involve)' ui as well aa ourselves in their Inconveniences ind penalties, it is proier, in your in to rest and our own, lo terminate all ar rangcinentt rehitlng to lb sale of our products.
