Rolls Royce, Ltd., Experimental Dept: Nightingale Rd., Derby. Dear Mr. Hives, Mr. Rippon informs me that should you find our Oil in every way to your satisfaction and wish to recommend it that you are somewhat dubious as to your customers being able to obtain it. So that you will be re-assured on this point, I am writing to let you know that we are now making arrangements to distribute our Oils throughout the principle Garages in the country. I am sorry to hear that you are confined to the house with a bad cold and wish you a speedy recovery. Please do not fail to let me know the next time you come to London, as I should certainly like to have the pleasure of spending a little more time with you than we had on the last occasion. My very kind regards. Sincerely yours, W. B. DICK & Co [Signature] DIRECTOR. | ||
