In confirmation of previous correspondence regarding petrol, kindly note that I have received letters dated 29th. and 31st. ult. respectively from the following firms:- G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Risbec. Sporting-Garage, 74-76 Bd.{Mr Berend} de Strasbourg, Toulon. He writes that, although he is unable to guarantee supplies of petrol, clients calling at his garage are practically sure to obtain the quantity of petrol they may require. Leon Molon. Grand Garage de la{L. A. Archer} Bourse, Le Harve. Has always supplies of petrol "Tourisme" quality, and can accommodate clients. Boulogne-Garage 11/13 Boulevard Daunoe, Boulogne-s-mer, (in front of "Gare Centrale") These people inform us that, thanks to their motor-wagon service, they have a regular stock of petrol, of which they obtain supplies direct from the refineries by their own means of transport, when conditions of transport by rail are defective, as is practically always the case at the present time. They are at our entire disposal, and would be pleased to be favoured with our orders. B. | ||
