| PETO & RADFORD Manufacturers & Distributors for over 20 years Works & Service Depts: DAGENHAM DOCK, ESSEX. Telephone: RAINHAM 34. Telegrams: PETRADFORD, DAGENHAM. 50 GROSVENOR GARDENS, LONDON, S.W.1 Telephone: SLOANE 7164. Telegrams: DATHOLITE, SOWEST, LONDON. OUR REF. GRMM/EAM and the post seems to have gone all wrong again, so I think we must really blame Hitler for all this and nobody else! If you really want the car, why not ring up and say you will give three-fifty for it, and then I understand they are quite prepared to let you have it and no further worry. What a life! Yours sincerely, GRM Minchin | ||
