Correspondence relating to information found in the Englewood Trade Wind, February 19, 1941: publicity

Abstract

This item is part of a series of materials relating to a publication called the "Englewood Trade Wind," which was produced and distributed by the Zoological Research Supply Company (ZRS). The ZRS served as the profit-making subsidiary of the Bass Biological Laboratory, and operated in the mid to late 1930s and early 1940s. The Englewood Trade Wind publication featured articles of local and biological interest as well as pricing and descriptions for various products sold by the ZRS. The publication ceased in the early 1940s. This letter is a reply to Wilfred Dickinson's request for information on marine and local fishes. Fraser's original letter included a copy of the Englewood Trade Wind. The letter also discusses the perils of trying to create artificial sea water and advice on temperature and the number of animals in an aquarium tank.
