I should like once more to impress on all concerned the supreme importance of secrecy in regard to the above.
It is hardly necessary for me to emphasize the damage which can be done to our business by information leaking out in regard to new models.
No one realises better than I do the difficulties but at the same time we must all do our very best in the common interests.
