[4] Enquiry from an import agent in India to a British export manufacturer

DYMONT & CO

General Import Merchants

Calcutta

Weatherproof Ltd. Newtown Liverpool L30 7KE

We have now been importing your "Litewate" raincoats for a number of years, and our trade connections throughout India have bean more than satisfied with the garments.

However, two от three Indian manufacturers have recently launched ultra- lightweight models, and these are catching en' very fast. In view of the increased competition this involves, we wander whether you have considered marketing a coat of rather lighter material than the "Literate", but equally waterproof. A garment of this type would have a large sale in this country if you could offer it at a competitive price, that. is to say not more than Ј3.50 for a man's model, and slightly less for a woman's. You will be interested to learn that raincoats being produced here suffer from one major drawback, namely excessive condensation on the inside surface.

We would be grateful for your preliminary comnents as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully
