From: Lazlo Toth …… November 3, 1991
To: President, V-8 Juice Company, (Campbell Soup)

Dear President of V-8 Juice,

On Halloween, instead of giving out candy, I offered Trick or Treaters a choice of small cans of juice –
V-8, Tomatoes or Pineapple. And I would like to report to you that 60% asked for V-8! Congratulations!

To: Lazlo Toth …… December 15, 1991
From: Florence Boskey, Consumer Correspondent, Campbell Soup

Dear Mr. Toth:

Thank you for taking the time to give us such kind and thoughtful comments. We appreciate hearing both positive negative comments from our consumers, and yours were particularly rewarding. For over 100 years, we at Campbell’s have worked to make the best products available at an economical price.

Compliments like yours help us feel that we are achieving that goal. Since you are interested in good food, I am enclosing a coupon for one of our Campbell products and some of our favorite recipe suggestions. I hope you enjoy them.

Sincerely,

Florence Boskey
