Dept. and sent to Messrs.Smiths, Cricklewood, for jacks, and after coming to Derby had been returned to Messrs.Hooper's, have become mislaid for the time being but will be traced eventually. In the meantime a new body has been mounted on the dummy chassis by Messrs.Hooper's at our request, and it is anxiously desired that this car be available for use in the Show Rooms. We would be glad therefore, if you would send or loan to Messrs.Hoopers of West Acton, the following parts:- (a) Two front wing stays. (b) Front apron. (c) Two head lamps. (d) Front bumper. These may be booked out as on loan to Sales. When the lost parts are discovered Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} will let us know to what order number the parts on loan should be charged.
