  • In a letter to Horace Kephart on October 8, 1921, B. H. Blanton sends requested information about SEK Manufacturing’s waterproofing compound.
  • PHONE COLUMBUS 5609 Sek Manufacturing Company (not inc.) MANUFACTURERS OP WEATHER, WATERPROOFING AND PRESERVERS FOR CANVAS, COTTON TEXTILES SHOES, LEATHERS, AUTO TOPS AND WOOL FABRICS 430, W. KINZIH STREET Chicago Oct ♦8, 1921. Hr. Horace Kephart* Bryson City, Horth Carolina. Dear Sir: We are very glad to have your inquiry of October 5th in regard to SEK. We enclose herewith circulars covering all of our SEK products. We would ask that you kindly read these through carefully because they explain the principles upon which SEK operates and which are entirely different from any other products on the market. In the past few years we have sold each SEK product upon its merits as a waterproofing compound but experience has shown that the greatest value arises from the fact that each SEK product is a preservative. Eor example SEK for shoes very greatly increases the wearing life of a pair of shoes even to such extant that some of our distributors make the positive claim that SEK doubles the lire of a pair of shoes. We think that by actual tests you will find that this claim isfully justified. We hope to hear irom you farther and will be glad to ship you charges prepaid any of the SEK products as shown on the enclosed price list. Thanking you for the inquiry and hoping to hear from you again* we are Tours truly-, SEK ICfVIWEACTURIHJ .COMPAM". BHB-MT B.H.Blanton ' Sales Depl- 2750 W. MAD1S0H ST-
