Dear Sirs, You will, no doubt, have observed in the Autocar that the Vauxhall Motor Co. are fitting a Car Heater on some of their models. Should you be considering the installation of similar equipment on any of your models, we shall be glad to have the opportunity of quoting. We enclose particulars of the Chanson Heaters for which we are the sole distributors and shall be pleased to quote prices. There is no doubt that, following American practice, Car Heaters will become increasingly used in this country and will add greatly to the amenities of winter motoring.
