Dear Sirs, For Attention of Mr. Hives. re GIRLING BRAKE. It is now some considerable time since our interview, in connection with the GIRLING BRAKING System, and no doubt you are already considering next season's Programme, and we should be glad if we could interest you, to the extent of you testing out this System, on one of your own Chassis. We are more than willing to do the whole job, free of all charge to your goodselves. We would collect the Chassis, and return it to you with the GIRLING BRAKING System fitted up, within a matter of about three weeks. Surely, this is a matter worthy of your consideration ? Hoping that we may hear from you. Yours faithfully, For NEW-HUDSON, LTD. [Signature: Alex Fraser] WORKS MANAGER. | ||
