smoke. It would perhaps be better if the smell were more pro- 

 nounced, if this could be done without affecting the colour. The 

 rubber requires testing in commercial quantities in order to place an 

 exact estimate of value upon lit. As a small sample consignment it 

 is unlikely to realise what we should consider its proper price in 

 quantity. We make it worth about 8s. 6d. per lb. very uncertain.

 Dear Sir, 



Herwith we have the pleasure to hand you contract for the sale 

 of the 2 cases Smoked Sheet and Biscuit ex S/S " EGYPT,"— which 

 you will be pleased to hear we disposed of at last Tuesday's sale, 

 realising the highest price in the auction, viz 9/- per lb. 



We think you will agree that, considering that many of the 

 buyers were very doubtful as to the smoking of the rubber and also 

 taking into account the very small quantity, this was a highly satis- 

 factory result, and we trust it may have the effect of producing 

 further efforts in this kind of manufacture. 



Account/ sales and nett proceeds will be forwarded to you in 

 due course, and in the meantime with compliments. 



We are, Dear Sir, 



Yours faithfully, 

 for, (jow, Wilson & Stanton, Ltd., 



Spencer Brett, 

 Director.
