| (2) 17th March 1932. The prices quoted include free delivery your Works, and are for payment - Cash Monthly, less a discount of 2½%, or a discount of 3¾% for cash within 8 days from receipt of our invoice. The prices quoted are based on the assumption that reasonable quantities would be ordered. We have assumed that the range of colours required will be similar to the ordinary flexibles supplied to you in the past, namely:- ITEM NO. 1. Red, Green, Blue or White. 2. Red or Black. 3. Orange. 4. Red. In order to put before you our lowest prices we have quoted you for medium double vulcanised insulation as distinct from the pure and double vulcanised insulation previously supplied to your ordinary specification. In the event of being favoured with your orders we shall be glad if you will agree to our supplying the material in lengths of 100 yards, as the special plant for dealing with the cellulose varnish is made to accommodate this length at a time. We have pleasure in sending under separate cover samples of flexible coloured cotton braided and served with clear cellulose - these samples to show type of finish only. Yours faithfully, For W.T.GLOVER & CO. LIMITED. | ||
