Scope and content

Pritchard refers to sales of the long chair in America. Rather than have it imported ready-made from Britain, a better idea would be to send the parts over or even make the chair from scratch in America. Pritchard asks for Gropius' opinion. A Leo Martinuzzi has been in touch regarding possible sales. He represents a number of American firms, namely R.H. Macy & Co, L. Bamberger & Co, Carson Pirie Scott & Co, The Lasalle & Koch Co, Kaufmann's and the May Department Stores Co. Mentions [Isokon Furniture Company's] Ideal Home Exhibition stand and Moholy-Nagy's work on it.
