RE GOODYEAR TYRES. With reference to your letter EWP.{Mr Punt}21/FAW., we should be pleased if you will let the Goodyear people have the tyres back at the price you mention i.e. 880 francs, as we are of the opinion that to keep them in hope of a customer buying them we should lose on the deal. We shall be much obliged if you will settle this matter up. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
