Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 8728. ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/GEA.8/EB. 22. 12. 31. We give you below, copy of letter received from Messrs. Giffen's(London) Limited., concerning Visorettes. The sample referred to therein, is sent you herewith. "The writer recently returned from an extensive tour "of the United States, which was undertaken for the "purpose of finding out what was new in the motor world. "From influential friends, I discovered the Fulton "people of Milwaukee had invented an anti-glare which "in my opinion is one of the best that has ever been "produced. It is not my intention to go into detail "regarding the efficiency of the article, and the value "motorists would place on an accessory of this kind. "Under separate cover, we are forwarding a sample anti- "glare. You will be able to discover the full value "of this wonderful piece of merchandise. We have obtained "a licence to manufacture in Gt. Britain, and hope to "be in production at an early date. In the United "States, they are sold to the public at $ 5.00 per pair. "To purchase from America, we would be compelled to set "up a list price of 25s/0d. In quantities we are "prepared to supply you at 4s/6d. each. Nett. "We sincerely trust, we may have your whole-hearted "consideration, as undoubtedly an anti-glare fitted "to all British Cars, would prove a valuable asset. If "you wish to purchase the sample, we will invoice at 8s/6d. "nett". L'D ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
