let us know. If you favour us with your esteemed order we can arrange

We presume you can obtain the Tennis Fittings, i.e.
the posts, sockets and playing net locally, but we could send you our
"Non-trip" Lead Marking Tapes & Pins at £7.10.0.' per set free on rail
our Leicester w orks, packed ready for shipment. Also no doubt you
could obtain.the stop netting surround locally.
We have not constructed any Courts in the Persian
Gulf previously, but we have laid our Courts in many countries abroad,
including America, Canada, New Zealand, Tangier and almost all the
European countries, and the fact that our Overseas trade increases
year by year proves, we think, they have given satisfaction. At
the present time we have orders on hand for six Courts to belaid in
Australia, and one of our expert foremen is on the way there now.
These Courts, however, are our improved Red Courts similar to those
at Wimbledon, but this material is a little more expensive and it is
a little more difficult to lay.
Again thanking you for writing us,
We are,
Yours faithfully,
