[ asked Mr. Oseas how the arrangements could be carried out to buy these grapes and he said he would teke that up with you tomorrow when he gets to Washington. ‘The carload of grapes will cost $1,000.00. Mr. Oseas stated he thought it would be better for agent Dililio to associate himself with a am in the grape business and request him to bid for the carload, even though it might be necessary to pay him a $15.00 or $25.00 commission, after which DiLillo can go dom to the track himself end sell the grapes." "How are the grepes to be purchased?” "I imagine in cash." "I think by check would be better.” "The only thing is, Mr, Bughes, that Be may buy through a second party.” "Yes, I understand the check proposition. Well, of courss, that check could be taken to the bank and exchanged for a cashier's check.” "Mr. Oseas wants DiLillo to do nothing so far as going into the actual business is concerned until Monday. ‘That will give you an opportunity to talk to Oseas. I thought I would give you this in the meantime.” "Iam glad you did.* "In the meantime Dilillo is going out and familiarizing himself with the grape business in general, so that when he goes into it he will mow something about it.* "I will get in touch with Oseas and will call you up afterward."
