Further to ours of the 7th ulto., and yours of the 8th reference Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}/EM8/E8917, we should esteem it a favour if you would be kind enough to let us know whether the two drums of Oil despatched by us have reached you, and if so, whether you have carried out your test. Naturally we feel interested in your experiments and our only reason for sending you a reminder is due to the continually increasing prices we are now experiencing. In our own minds we have no doubt but what you will obtain most excellent results from the Oils we sent you, and we hope to have the pleasure of executing your business in this direction. We are Dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, W. B. DICK & COMPANY, LIMITED. [Signature] MANAGER, GENERAL LUBG. DEPT | ||
