Letter

CO-130 Dear Mr. Portinari, As one of the leading framing companies of New York, we thought we would take the liberty of addressing this letter to you to inquire if you had as yet found picture frames for all of the works brought with you to this country. In the event that you still require any frames for your paintings, it would give us the greatest pleasure to bring frames and samples to you temporary New York address which we understand is the one above, 17 East 9th Street. We are well known, and could refer you to the work we have done in framing much of the exhibits of the International Business Machines Corporation at the New York World’s Fair for two successive years. Through them we had much experience in finding suitable frames for South American artists’ works, and we believe this experience could be used to satisfy you particularly with regard to your own fine paintings. A telephone call would bring us to your house, or you could drop in to see our show room at 29 West 56th Street when you are next up-town. Anticipating the pleasure of at least showing you our many frame designs, we are, Mr. Portinari, Very truly yours, Louvre Frame Co. M.C.Allaben, Jr.
