| Rml/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 3rd December, 1937. Jervis B. Webb, Esq., 8951 Alpine Avenue, DETROIT, Mich. Dear Mr. Webb, I am interesting S. Smith & Sons, the biggest Accessory Oil Manufacturers in England, in your oil filter. They are at present making a filter which I do not think is in the same class as the one you manufacture. If you have not already fixed up, I suggest it would be worth your while coming over for this purpose alone. If the prices are anything like the figures you mentioned to me, Smiths think they could sell 3,000 a week, maybe more. Yours sincerely, | ||
