[STAMP: 4 NOV 1920] NATIONAL BENZOLE COMPANY LTD. 30, GROSVENOR GARDENS, LONDON, S.W.1. Ref: General Management 1st November, 1920. Messrs. Roll Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} / Dear Sirs, We have had the pleasure of supplying you with National Benzole for some time past, and I trust that you are obtaining the extra miles per gallon claimed for National Benzole, over any other Motor Spirit. Several of our customers have stated that certain makes of Lubricating Oil have not given them entire satisfaction in conjunction with the use of Benzole. We are most anxious that the fullest possible advantage shall be obtained by regular users of "National Benzole", and in order to secure this maximum efficiency we have prepared a Special Lubricating Oil, upon which Benzole vapour has no deleterious effect. The enclosed booklet and price list sets forth the particulars in reference to this product, which has been exhaustively tested by us and bears the same guarantee that has made "National Benzole" so popular. We shall be glad to receive your order for a sample drum or barrel, and feel sure you will obtain great benefits from its use. Yours faithfully, NATIONAL BENZOLE COMPANY LTD. [Illegible Signature] General Manager. [STAMP: 5 NOV] | ||
