-3- Mr. S.W. Grylls. 7th December 1938. as against something like 50% on cotton. Drawback in England is the Celanese racket which demands paying 6d. a pound manufacturing tax on all Rayon. In the U.S. Rayon tyres are only fractionally more expensive to produce than cotton. Yours for a country with the rackets below rather than above the social heap. Maurice Olly MAURICE OLLEY. | ||
