In this connection, I beg to call your special attention to the "DUCO" Valve Stem Lubricator, and would like the opportunity of sending you a set free of cost so that you can test them either on the road or bench. A leading Manufacturer gave them a thirty-eight hours' bench test with good results - see last leaf but one of enclosed booklet. I attach a special measurement form. Please fill in and post to me. Yours faithfully, BROWN BROTHERS, LIMITED. A Brown Managing Director. [STAMP: F.H.R.] [STAMP: R] [STAMP: 16 JUN 1918] | ||
