Dear Sirs,

We beg to inform you that we have secured the agency for a sparking plug, which although tested for a long time, has only been put on the market recently, and since its appearance, it has secured the first prices in all official and popular contests, both in car and flying racing.

Its high qualities have been proved by expert tests, and found out most satisfactory.

We beg to enclose translations of a few testimonials and point out at the same time, that the JAM Plug was 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the "Grand prix Tourisme" run at Strasburg as it was first again at the "Coupe Georges Boillot" run recently at Boulogne, and last, but not least, Lasne, the winner of the Deutsch Aerial cup (for speed championship), the results of which are just at hand, had the engine of his Nieuport Delage Aeroplane fitted with JAM plugs.

We would be indebted to you if you would send us particulars of any of your engines on which you would like to test these plugs, when we would certainly be glad to supply you with a full set, free of charge.

Awaiting the favour of your reply,

We remain, dear Sirs,
Yours faithfully,
p: A.{Mr Adams} PICARD.
[Signature]
