Advertising Letter

Dear Sir   At half the actual cost you can now have SOLAR HEATING installed in your home. As part of our research and development scheme introduced two years ago we are about to make our selection of a number of properties throughout the country as ‘Research Homes’ – yours could be one of them. The information received from selected ‘Research Homes’ in the past two years has proved that SOLAR HEATING is successful even in the most northern parts of the United Kingdom. This information has also enabled us to modify and improve our designs, which we will continue to do.   If your home is selected as one of the properties to be included in our research scheme, we will bear half the actual cost of installation. If you are interested in helping our research programme in return for a half-price solar heating system, please complete the enclosed form and return it by the end of May. Within three weeks we will inform you if your home has been selected for the scheme.   Yours faithfully
