Wednesday 3rd November 1937

Extract from report dated 26/4/37 – “Mr Greenbaum has never heard of Paripan, is not interested in paint and will not discuss the matter”. This laconic report covered the rudest reception I’ve ever received from a prospective client.

Triumphant sequel today when I made a second call on “Mr Greenbaum” (a Jew). “Ordered: 5 gallons SO Gloss Paint. Pro forma invoice”. Even more laconic! And he duly paid, by return of post!
