F.R.ABBOTT GLANVILLE. HEAD OFFICE & WORKS: 99-101 ROUEL ROAD, BERMONDSEY. OIL REFINERS S.E. 16. Feb. 20th. 1924. Mr. Hives. Experimental Dept., Rolls Royce Works, Derby. Dear Sir, Following our representative's call at your London Depot we are forwarding to you to-day a sample two gallons of our Glissade "S" Brand of Motor Car oil for Rolls Royce Cars. The price of this oil is as you will see by enclosed Price List similar to that of other first grade brands, but as we are in a position to allow a much larger discount (viz:- 40% off this list) the resulting nett price compares very favourably. We trust you will be able to give this Glissade oil a trial, when we are confident that you will endorse our view that its results in economy both as to quantity consumed and as to initial cost and also in power and efficiency generally are exceptional. For larger quantities than one barrel we can give still closer quotations and we shall be glad to have your enquiries and recommendations at all times. We are, Dear Sir, Yours faithfully, JAMES WHITE, ABBOTT & CO. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} A.{Mr Adams} Glanville | ||
