Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Bond. With reference to your letter of the 15th.inst. We are very pleased with the silence of the tyres you have submitted to us. We think that undoubtedly we shall be satisfied with the quality of the noiselessness obtained. It will obviously be some time before we can pass a considered opinion upon their durability and non-skid properties. Yours faithfully, | ||
