Re. E.H.Broadhurst, Esq.1298. Will you kindly note that this owner wrote some time ago and also called on us as to the advisability of fitting Houdaille shock absorbers to his car. We informed him that we were experimenting with a set and would let him know the result. Will you kindly say if these experiments are now finished and what we can write to the customer regarding the matter.
