Dialogue No 2 (230 words)

William Bontraguer, the Sales Manager of Harper Toys Ltd., is speaking with his former teacher Maryann Quince.

MARYANN: Good afternoon, Johnson Consultants, can I help you?

WILLIAM: This is William Bontraguer. Do you remember me?

MARYANN: Yes, sure. What type of business are you in now?

WILLIAM: I work for Harper Toys Ltd. We manufacture and distribute toys. All kinds of toys. So, I'm planning to go to Richmond in about three weeks to start investigating the market for the Harper Toys Ltd. merchandise in Virginia.

MARYANN: Good thinking. I'm glad you learnt something in my classes. Harper Ltd. is sure to be a success. Those toy whales seem to be very popular with kids this last fall.

WILLIAM: Yes, I know. We're about to meet the orders from the big retailers. We've contracted out a lot of the manu­facturing work to firms in Oklahoma and Nebraska, and all the packaging and distribution is being done in Cleveland, Ohio. But when the Asian countries get the know-how in the new year, the market is likely to explode overnight.

MARYANN: In that case I'd better get off the line and let you get on with it! I believe I can find for you very reputable whole­salers, I have one or two contacts in Richmond you might find useful, by the way - I'll dig out their addresses for you.

WILLIAM: Thanks, I'd really appreciate it if you could do that. Well, it's been good talking to you, Maryann. I'll speak to you again soon.

MARYANN: Surely. Take care now. Goodbye
