We could supply you with RAD in the standard gallon tins ( we enclose booklet relating to the use of RAD and should like to add that it is being used and recommended by the leading motor-car manufacturers,) at the special trade price of 9/- per tin nett, carriage paid, tins and other packing free. Further, we could supply you with RAD in bulk, in large drums at 8/- per 10 lb. carriage paid, drums extra and returnable.
