| Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}19/I 14th May, 1934. The Sales Manager, Motor Oils Dept., Messrs. Shell-Mex & B.P. Ltd., P. O.{Mr Oldham} Box 148, Shell Mex House, Victoria Embankment, WC.2. Dear Sir:- Mr. Sidgreaves has asked us to reply to your letter EWP{Mr Punt}/MS of the 8th instant. The demand for oils in packages at our various Depots is insignificant and we do not, therefore, think it worth while stocking Aero Shell oil. But we shall, as we have done in the past in respect of other brands of oil, arrange for the supply from the appropriate Depot of your Company of any Aero Shell oil which may be ordered from us. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD., Sales Department. | ||
