We have supplied from time to time through your Conduit Street offices and also through many of the Coach Builders, our Safebeam Anti-Dazzle and Foglamps as centre lights for Rolls Royce cars, and we have pleasure in sending you our latest list of these lamps. As we understand you are likely to be considering a Centre Lamp as standard equipment in the near future, we should very much appreciate an opportunity of placing before you at an interview all our latest information in this connection. As the writer will be in the Midlands this week, we should very much appreciate an appointment if you can grant us a short interview, and would be glad if you would kindly advise us, to 31. Stafford Street Birmingham, if we may call. Any time on Thursday or Friday would suit us if you can make the appointment. Major Cox and several of the Directors of your Company are using our Safebeam Lamps, and we have the greatest confidence when making the claim that our Safebeams are the ideal lamp for the purpose you have in mind. Trusting that we may be favoured by your kind reply, Yours faithfully, DESMO LTD. [Signature] Safebeam Department. Handwritten notes: r6116 I will see him Friday aft | ||
