Gentlemen:-
Replying to yours of the 23d, what we mean by ”Lashings" we judge
to be the same as you mean by "Jute Roping". It is the Ropes that are
wound around compressed bales of Jute, and which we sell to the Kentucky
Hemp packers for baling up Hemp. We keep them in original lengths as
near as possible, so that there may be little waste for you. As we have
only one bale of Gunny Cloth or Heavy Jute Bagging, we cannot very well
sell you a half·carload of it. We are pleased however to name you the
low price of two and one—half cents per lb. for the Ropes in carload
- quantity, and two andthree—quarter cents per lb. on less than oarload,
f.o.b. Paris, Kentucky. If you order a carload of it, it would probably
take us sixty days to get together this quantity. If you do not wish to
buy more than less than carload quantity, we should be pleased to book
your order for same, and could make you shipment of a few bales shortly
after receipt of your order, and follow it with more every few days, if
you wanted it. We will put the bale of Gunny Cloth in at the same price
as the Rope. Awaiting your reply, we are
Yours truly,
CHELSEA JUTE MILLS.,;
