WW/GW New York Office:- 220 BROADWAY. 16th March, 1920 Messrs. Rolls Royce, Limited, DERBY. Dear Sirs, We have pleasure in forwarding you literature with regard to the Stromberg Carburetter. You are no doubt aware that this carburetter is the most extensively used in the United States of America. This fact speaks for itself with regard to the efficiency and satisfaction given by this instrument. It is the intention of the American House to manufacture on this side, and in preparation for this we are desirous of getting one of these carburetters on test on your car. We know that it will give entire satisfaction. We will, after these tests, be able to discuss prices with you on the basis of the carburetters being manufactured in England, and we feel assured that with regard to this we can interest you. Our representative will give himself the pleasure of calling upon you within the course of the next week or two to discuss these matters with you, and we trust you will be able to give him an interview. We also have much pleasure in quoting you the special price of 1/8 each nett. for Carpentier Spark Plugs. These plugs have earned a very enviable reputation both in France and Great Britain as a sound commercial plug. Yours faithfully, Stanley J Watson. | ||
