7 ? } / M. J. Di Blase PAINT CONTRACTOR P h o n e 3 4 7 4 1 9 V E G A S D R I V E L A S V E G A S . N E V A D A February 4, 1953 Mr. R. L. Adamson 422 west 6th St. Los Angeles, California Dear Mr. Adamson: Some time ago an inquiry was made regarding the coating of a re3evoir roof in Aas Vegas. Our last information is that nothing has bean done as yet about this. We have a material that is especially adapted for this purpose. It has been cycled at 600 degrees above Farenheit to 80 below, and at these temperatures there was no softening or freezing of the material. The most im­portant factor was no loss of resiliency which would eliminate any troubles due to contraction and expansion which seems to be the deteriorating factor in this area. This has a bonded guarantee of a minimum of 10 years, and I am quite positive that it would eliminate repeated maintenance, which has been quite troublesome inthis area. Would like to hear from you regarding this at your earliest convenience and could then go into greater details, ^hls has been used by the Military Services for this purpose. Very truly yours,
