| Established 1885 The AVON INDIA RUBBER Co. Ltd. -2- I trust you will not lose interest in this matter, and I shall be glad to go to Derby to discuss it further at any time convenient to you. You may remember that we were very willing to supply you with a set of four of these 7.00 improved Duo Tread tyres for test purposes for silence and resilience, only charging them up to you if you found they were entirely suitable in these respects and decided to send them forward for prolonged road test, and we feel confident they will give you considerable higher mileage figure than you usually expect. Your consideration of this matter will be appreciated, and particularly would I ask you to bear in mind that it was the improved Duo Tread which I asked you to test when I last saw you at your Works. Yours faithfully, THE AVON INDIA RUBBER CO. LTD. S. Lovell Shearts MANUFACTURERS SECTION. | ||
