Everton F.C. Ltd. (2)
communication with them, considering that as they
are a local Firm, and anxious to secure the order,
you might be disposed to give them a preference.
The result of my interview was, that if
they obtain the order at the estimated price, they
will in addition to what is specified, give
the whole of the steelwork an additional cost
of paint after erection, and also paint the whole
of the Timberwork of the Roof 2 coats of
approved colour. They are not busy and will
concentrate all their energies on the work.
As they are a local firm, of worldwide
reputation, and with their works most convenient
for inspection, and as they have offered what
is practically equal value, I beg to recommend
that their offer be accepted.
Should you however take the view that
the lowest offer be accepted, then I have no
hesitation in recommending that the Tender of
The Clyde Structural Iron Coy. be accepted.
Awaiting your further instruction.
I am Gentlemen
Your obedt. Servant
