Dear Sirs, I hoped when I wrote to you on the 1st October that you would be able to give me a definite appointment at the Motor Show, but I know also how busy you are during the weeks immediately before it. I shall do my best to make contact with you at your Stand, and since you will agree that improved engine designs largely depend upon higher octane fuels for their efficiency, I hope you will have time for me to tell you something of Cleveland Discol. Yours faithfully, CLEVELAND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS COMPANY. Technical Manager. [STAMP: CLEVELAND DISCOL THE ALCOHOL SPIRIT] ALL QUOTATIONS AND OFFERS ARE SUBJECT TO CONTRACT.
