Dear Sirs, Referring to our letter of the 9th August we are sorry to worry you, but really we would like to have a word or two from your goodselves as to the present position. Do you think that your tests so far will enable you to remove the restrictions which hitherto you have imposed against the use of Zero Anti-Freeze on account of the fact that it contains Glycerine? Our plans for the coming winter season are nearing completion - hence our anxiety as to your attitude in respect of Zero. We are, Yours truly, PRICE'S LUBRICANTS LIMITED. W R Brooker | ||
