Box 762 CARBONDALE, ILLl 'i_OIS I L□cAn □ N_ Area l 2, TI,oP 1250 Enclosed are 7 pictures of the plant at the Illinois Ordnance Unit, as r equested in your December 27th memo randun1. I believe this pretty well covers the situation. Please note particularly the empty coal stockpile in picture #1. The Herrin newspaper may want to use some of the pictures for a story. Ordnance has no objection and if it is satisfactory with you, I 111 tell the paper it is ok. Incidentally, we may get a price concession on the pictures if the paper uses them. The price without a concession is $2050 each, total $17.50. Additional prints will be $1.00 each. Several employees have asked if they may buy copies. Colonel Oetinger has no objection, and if you have no objection, I will arrange, to get p rints for those who want to buy them. I have not paid for the pictures as yet, so will 1·Jait until your r eply. t:f JDF:rs EncL ~ d e n t Manager �Sn.AS l(AS()N COMPANY ILLINOIS ORDNANCE PLANT UNIT CARBONDALE, ILLINOJS Description of Pictures February 10, 1950 l.
