| To Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y+300 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/MJ. 8.3.31. HEATERS. Replying to Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}18/I/26.2.31. I saw the Tropic-Aire heaters whilst at the show in U.S.A. I did not think they were as good as the Packard type. I purchased one of these and it is now at the Works waiting to be fitted to a car. We think you should return the Tropic-Aire samples you have. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
