Dear Sirs,
Improved ways of production make us able to offer you our
change of Drilite batteries (电池)at a reduced price for large
quantities.
Further information of the new prices for your market are
sent to you together with the letter, and you will see that
the price has already reduced 5 per cent. As c.i.f (成本，保险加
运费)to Dublin is included in our prices, you will agree that
they are clearly lower than those of producers of the same
batteries, both here in Japan and elsewhere. The quality of
our producers
remains the same --- only the finest chemicals are used. The
new prices are for the least orders of 1,000 pounds and will
begin from January 1. Immediate sending off is guaranteed
because enough can be made whenever you require it.
We appreciate your past dealing and co-operstion (合作) with
us, and look forward to supplying you in the new year at the
new prices.
