HERMAN sent a message to Marvin R. Ellison President of J. C. Penney Company Inc.- email address that said:
Good afternoon to you Mr. Ellison. I sincerely hope that that you and your family are the best of health. Im reaching out to you because I have a patent on a great product that I think would greatly benefit your stores. Please grant me the opportunity to sit down with you for a formal presentation. Im a 65 year old African American entrepreneur that believes in standing on my own merits and competing in the business marketplace worldwide with anyone without a minority, depressed and disadvantaged business qualifier. As you said, "quality above all." I believe that wholeheartedly. You must see this product. It will sell well in your stores. Thank you so very much. I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing from you. If you should have any questions or desire additional information, please don't hesitate to call. Herman
