BLOUGH CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IND. • t A COMPLETE GRAPHIC ARTS SERVICE UNDER ONE ROOF April 21 , 1971 Economic Development Commission City of South Bend, South Bend, Indiana Att: Mr. Robert McGinty Dear Mr. McGinty: I am pleased to submit the following data concerning the economic impact of our request that your Commission purchase the building commonly known as the Oliver Print Shop and lease it to. our company for fifteen years. The building in question is an existing structure and has been used for the same purpose we contemplate for many years. Therefore there will be no new utilities required. We contemplate no immediate increase in our employment of , approximately 65 persons , all whom reside in the city at the present time. We can therefore see no effect to the South Send School Corporation because of this transaction. The building in question is for sale at a purchase price of $120,000.00 as is. We purpose to make $40,000.00 in leasehold improvements should this transaction be approved. For the year 1970 our payroll was slightly in excess of $525,000.00. I trust the above has answered all of your questions adequately. Please feel free to contact me at anytime if I can provide additional information. Very truly your, M. S. Infalt y MSI : sh 211 service court south bend, indiana 46601 telephone 219/233-1151 ----------- ------------ A COMPLETE GRAPHIC ARTS SERVICE UNDER ONE ROOF April 13 , 1971 Economic Development Commission City of South Bend South Bend, Indiana Attn: Mr. Karl King, President Dear Mr. King: As you know our Firm has served the City of South Bend and the metropolitan area for more than 50 years . Most of that time we have been tenants in our present location. Now due to urban renewal we are being forced to move to a new location. We have carefully surveyed available properties in the City of South Bend for a new site for our business because of our great desire to remain in this City. Unfortunately the only properties we have found, which meet our needs and are available for lease, are located in other cities within our marketing area. If we are forced to accept one of these properties outside South Bend it will mean that the majority of our sixty-plus employees will be forced to relocate their homes, a situation we would like to prevent. Federal funds from the Small Business Administration which might assist us to purchase a building are not available because of a recent change in our majority stock ownership. This then brings me to the purpose of this letter. We have located a building presently owned by White Farm Equipment Company on Arnold Street at the intersection with Dunham, which would meet our needs quite adequately but is for sale for the sum of $120,000.00, not for lease. We are prepared to enter into a fifteen year lease which would liquidate the principal and pay the effective interest during the course of the term. We, therefore, respectfully petition your Commission to purchase this White Farm Equipment Company building and lease it to us for a term of fifteen years. We will be pleased to supply any supporting materials you may desire to enable you to favorably rule on our petition. 211 service court south bend, indiana 46601 Very truly yours, telephone 219/233-1151 R /J 1_1'_� ` % C'Z/- Michael Infalt Executive Vice President
