SAMUEL A. GOLDSMITH Referring to your letter of July 3rd, addressed I. EDWIN G oLDWASSER HARRY G REENSTEIN to Miss Razovsky, rel tive to the aavisability of JOSEPH C. HYMAN refugees taking their belongings with them, or SOLOMON L OWENSTEIN forwarding same to the United States pending ar ERICH M. WARBURG rival, may we advise that it would be necessary JONAH B. WISE to have these effects shipped to the Port of ew York and stored in the ew York Foreign Trade Zone ,
DEPARTMENTS where same would be held for an indefinite period.
MIGRATION CEOLIA R AZOVSKY The storage rates on these effects would be ll¢ Director per month, per cubic foot on lift vans over 4,000 EMPLOYMENT NELL MANN pounds , cartage approximately $15.00 from steamer Acting Director to vtarehouse . These charges are based on the RELIBP AND SERVICE present r te and are subject to change without H ANNA ZIEGLER ... Acting Direc/or notice. RESETTLEMENT JACOB H. KRAVITZ Acting Direclor Because the charges accumulate and become rohibi tive when the client eventuallJ arrives in the United States, it is our opinion that it ~ould be WILLIAM HABER unwise to have effects sent here , unless definite ExecutiVI Director oate of arrival has been ascertained.
If there is any further way that we can be of ser vice to you, please do net hesitr. te to call upon us .
