Mr. J.Allen 16 May 199x

Director

A.X.C. Records Ltd.

41 Broadway

Manchester M2 5BP.

Dear Mr. Allen,

Thank you for your nquiry of 12 May in which you asked about the tapes we advertised in this month”s edition of Hi Fi News.

The cassets are ferrous based and high quality chromium dioxide which as you know means they would be suitable for any type of recording. They are Kolby products which is the brand name you will certainly recognize. Our prices are low and quite competitive as we are working on a small profit margin, therefore we will not be offering any trade discounts on this consignment.

But we sell a wide range of cassettes and we enclose a price-list giving you details of trade, quantity, and cash discounts on our other products.

We have sent, by separate post, samples of the advertised cassettes and other brand we stock. We would urge you to place an order as soon as possible as there has been a huge response to our advertisement.

Thank you for your interest and await your reply.

Yours faithfully,

B.Lindon
