Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby, England. Gentlemen: It has been suggested to us by the United Motor Industries, Ltd., of 45 Poland Street, London, W. that you are interested in quantities of our celluloid hydrometers. We would be glad indeed to receive orders from you, either direct or through the above company as you may prefer, and are pleased to quote you our best price of $78.00 per gross. Our hydrometers will give a more nearly accurate reading than any instrument commercially used on the market. We say this without hesitation for the reason that our method of balancing is entirely different from the others. This feature together with the non-breakable qualities recommends our hydrometer, particularly where they will be given rough useage. Thanking you in advance for the anticipated business, we are Yours very truly, LUTHY HYDROMETERS CO. (Sgd) J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Edward Ready. JER:HL. | ||
