Dear Sir

I should like to bring to your notice a new type of car heater which has recently been patented by my brother Mr. W. D. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Picetto of Brighton.
This is an entirely new system which entails no drain on batterys, gives off no fumes and once fitted is free of any running cost whatsoever.

In a few minutes from starting the engine the radiators heated by this system become quite hot and will remain at a good temperature for over an hour after stopping.
