| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. X1588 BJ3/H19.1.26. British Mineral Oil Products Ltd. I attach a copy of Oy's letter to you of the 29th August, 1924. I received a letter from the British Mineral Oil Products Ltd. dated 13th January, in which they say: "The thought occurs to me in passing that in view of the recommendation of the Rolls-Royce Company in America for cars that we may perhaps be able to interest you in making such a test on your cars as would decide you to place our oil on your list of recommendations. The tests so far carried out by manufacturers in this country and on the Continent have resulted in their entire satisfaction and recommendation of our product, and as we know it is the policy of your Company to render their clients the utmost service, we feel that any factor which tends to perfection will receive your consideration." I know nothing about the people or their oil, but shall be glad if you will let me know what I should reply. B.J. | ||
