Although we are very doubtful indeed whether it would be wise for us to abandon the foot pump in favour of a hand pump, we should like to have an opportunity of seeing and trying the sample "Kinsman" pump to which you refer. Perhaps, therefore, you will very kindly send it along to us. Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
