Dear Sirs, We are very desirous of bringing to your notice something of real value and interest to all Manufacturers of Automobiles. We all know the vibration and strain on Steel, Copper and Brass Tubing under such conditions is very great, and has not been catered for in the best possible way during the past few years, which is understandable. We have, however, now perfected a very special Copper Tube, made from the finest possible Electrolytic Copper, and in its manufacture, so handled, that it has, in every particular instance under test, come out in front of any other tube on the market. We shall be pleased to supply the smallest or largest quantity you may deem advisable for test purposes and know that the result will be highly satisfactory to ourselves. We are putting this article on the market and believe a very great future is in front of it. A reply to this letter under any circumstances, will be very much appreciated as we desire to get some evidence of interest amongst our fellow Manufacturers, that a British article is going to be supported whenever possible. Thanking you in anticipation, and promising our support awaits your commands. Yours faithfully, (Sgd.) Joseph Evans. | ||
