Called the Gen. P. F. Co. to see if they would pack my pictures this week—they said they would. Called Trucking companies. Finally the Red Star Express said they would take them on a few hours notice.
P.M. Neels in to look at pictures. His favorite the one of the Cloverfield, which surprised me a little.
Late P.M. B & I to get large glass.
F.R. calls, to warn me of the teamsters strike. He was pleased when I said I had a trucker to take them. He said he would like them if he possibly could, to arrive on Friday.
Evening Hank helped me seal the smaller pictures
