Haus Reichshof - Hohenzollernstr. 12 Firma Rolls Royce Limited HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Derby Conc: The practical equipment of the furniture board for motor-cars. Dear Sirs, A practical and tasteful equipment of the furniture board of motor-cars, as is shown in the enclosure, is a necessity of our time and contributes greatly to a facilitated sale of your motor-cars. We call your kind attention to the modern flat method of fitting in our OSA tachometers, motor-clocks and revolution indicators for motor-cars, which are perfectly made in the same style according to the modern requirements. This tasteful execution is unattained and induced the most important motor-works home and abroad to give the preference to our makes in the last time and to make an exclusive use of them. Incidentally, we beg to observe that the Wanderer-Werke, Adler-Werke, Stoewer-Werke, Opel, Dürkopp, Simson, Selve, Fafnir, Maybach, Hansa and Hansa-Lloyd are continually taking large quantities from us. It is a matter of course, that the enclosed printed matter cannot show you the nice appearance and the first class qualities of our apparatus in comparison with the makes of the competition, you may only be convinced thereof by means of a trial. We therefore should advise you, to favour us with a trial order on hand of the enclosed sheet of questions. Im Briefverkehr stets genaue Adressenangabe: ,,Hohenzollernstr. 12" erforderlich. | ||
