From Deac Martin... Unique Services 649 Union Trust Bldh., Cleveland... CHerry 7230 ... September 9, 1938. Vincent Bendix, President Bendix Aviation Corp. New York City Dear Mr. Bendix: I meant to tell you at the Aviation Ball last Saturday night that I am the man who has painted the pictures of the Thompson Trophy and Greve Trophy winners each year since the beginning. Is it possible that I might get the assignment to do the winner of winners of the 1938 Bendix Trophy for you? Many companies for whom I paint aeronautical subjects, use the original oil paintings for lobby office, or sales convention decoration after the paintings have been reproduced for advertising or promotional purposes. Of course you are familiar with the series in FORTUNE this year. A reproduction of one is enclosed. I shall be interested in your comment. Very truly yours Blarles Hlubell
