Dear Sir(s), “THELSON” RADIATOR FLUID With the approach of winter, the protection of the cooling system of your car from the possible ravages of frost, is of paramount importance. It is hardly necessary for us to point out the risk of a “Freeze up” or the resultant damage to the engine and the expense incurred; but we would like to emphasise that complete protection can be obtained at a very moderate cost. “THELSON” RADIATOR FLUID is specially prepared and its solution is guaranteed non-corrosive and harmless to all parts with which it will come into contact. The enclosed Leaflet gives full details of our product and we would advise you to be prepared and post your Order Card at once. Yours faithfully, FOR ALAN THELWALL LIMITED, [Signature]: KThelwall | ||
