[6] Letter from Charles Haviland at Limoges, France, to Theodore Haviland in the United States dated March 4, 1869, in the archives of Haviland & Co., Inc.: "It would certainly be a good thing to stamp all our china with our name if: 1st our china was better than any one else or at least as good and 2nd if we made enough for our trade. Without that it would turn against us and learn people that by ordering through Vogt or Nittal they could get Gibus or Julieus china which is better than ours. And if ours was the best but we did not make enough to fill orders there would be a complaint when we gave other manufacturer's china. So our first aim must be to manufacture as well or better than any body else and to make all we sell----_Then & then only_ it will be a capital thing to stamp all our make with our name." Their goal was finally achieved in 1876. [7] ELIZABETH TODD GRIMSLEY, "Six Months in the White House," _Journal, Illinois State Historical Society_, vol. 19, nos. 3-4, pp. 42-73.
