Dear Sir(sJ 
RETURN OR' EMPTY DRUMS 
Me venture to solicit your assistance with regard to the 
more speedy return of empty drums, particularly 64-gallon drums. 
Even in normal times we are anxious to obtain the return 
of empty drums* as quickly as possible, since each 64-gallon drum 
costs a 17. 00 and with the thousands which are in circulation, you 
will understand that the money tied up is very considerable. 
W e 
t re therefore anxious to obtain a rapid circulation in order to 
avoid the manufacture of new drums, which would be unnecessary 
if existing packages were returned within a reasonable time. 
v % 
^part from this, drums deteriorate rapidly and unless carefully 
loosed after, become cifilcuit, if not impossible, to recondition. 
V; i th present war conditions, the manufacture of new 
arums presents difficulties and it has now become of considerable 
importance that drums which are at present in circulation should 
be returned to us as soon after they are empty as possible 
Vve ask therefore the co-operation of our customers and 
shall be most grateful if careful attention can be given to this 
matter and those responsible explicitly instructed to return empty 
drums with the utmost despatch. 
Yours truly 
For THE ASIATIC \PETE OLEUM CO
