Dear Sirs, We should very much like your approval of our new Trico Visionall Automatic Windscreen Wiper. This instrument wipes the entire windscreen laterally at one speed, and has only been marketed after three years' extensive test, and in the States already the Pierce-Arrow are fitting the Visionall as standard equipment. Our Cleaner is a great advance over anything yet put on the market, and feel sure should you decide to test the instrument, same will meet with your entire approval. For your information, Trico Products Corporation are the largest makers of Windscreen Wipers in the world and own the Folberth Co., as well. Yours very truly, p.p. R.M. PAPELIAN LIMITED.
