ear plugs

[DIANE HOFSTETTER]

Marshall,

Attached is a brief description of the earplugs.  If you would like to try 
them, I need your address and phone number and I can send you a fitting kit. 
  Then, if you want to buy a pair, you can return the fitting kit with an 
order for the correct size and a check for $20.
