| RR DURRANT'S PRESS CUTTINGS St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Andrew's House, 32 to 34 Holborn Viaduct, and 3 St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Andrew Street, Holborn Circus, E.C.1. Telephone: CENTRAL 3149. Wallasey News 63 Borough Road, Wallasey. Cutting from issue dated 29 JUN 1935 “MOTOR TO MUSIC.” To the Editor of “The Wallasey News.” Sir,—In your issue of June 22nd I see that under the heading “Motor to Music” you say “the Ekco firm have the exclusive rights for providing car radio apparatus for the Rolls Royce firm.” It should be pointed out that since the Philco Radio and Television Corporation of Great Britain Ltd. introduced car radio in this country three years ago they have supplied Rolls Royce with more sets than any other manufacturer, the latest Philco installation being made only this week. As your report creates an entirely wrong and misleading impression, we feel sure you will give equal prominence to the foregoing statement.—Yours etc., HARRY J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} FRENCH, For Paul Brewster, Publicity Manager, “Philco.” 29 Whitehall, S.W. 1. June 27th, 1935. | ||
