RECEIVED 1932 JAN 11 LIFTING JACKS. ------------ In Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lidl/MJ.19.11.31. you say that you can purchase a set of Jackall Hydraulic Jacks for approximately £14.0.0. Will you kindly let us know where you obtained this figure? Smiths have quoted us £16.16.0. less 25% and 10%, and £4.4.0. as the approximate nett cost of fitting. In other words, they want us to pay about £15.10.0. nett. It seems that they have quoted you very much more favourable terms, and we would like to investigate why there is such a big difference.
