Correspondence from back of two ZRS call sheets for salesmen, c.1940: operations

Abstract

This item is part of a series of operational records from the Zoological Research Supply Company, including reports from sales representatives on meetings with customers and related records, such as correspondence. The ZRS served as the profit-making subsidiary of the Bass Biological Laboratory, and operated in the mid to late 1930s and early 1940s. This letter to Stewart Springer discusses details of J. Lear Grimmer's travels for the ZRS, the success of latex in dissections, and his impressions on Anderson, a small scale reptile supplier and apprentice salesman.
