| EFC3/T3119 X.295 8th January 1919. Messrs. S. Smith & Sons, Ltd., Midland Service Depot, 122 Alma Street, Birmingham. Dear Sir, FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR. C.W.Nichols. In answer to yours of the 6th inst., re car lighting and starting system, with which you sent descriptive booklet of illustrations of post-war products, we note that you will be visiting the Midlands with your demonstration car fitted with your equipment. We shall be very pleased if you will call and show us this car. If convenient to yourselves it would be more convenient to us if you could arrange this visit about the middle of next week, say Wednesday. If, however, this is inconvenient to you, perhaps you will call this week, only in that case the undersigned will be unable to see this equipment as he will be away from the Firm for a few days. In these circumstances will your representative kindly ask for Mr. Bailey. Yours faithfully, P.S. The writer will be in London to-morrow, Friday, and Saturday and if time permits, will call at your London Showroom, where, no doubt, he will be able to see some of your production. | ||
