From:
Peter Stott
Subject: Prices
I would like to draw your attention to the attached price lists from two
of our main competitors. As you can see, both have reduced their prices
by about 3 to 4 per cent. I would like to suggest that we

from sales has
fallen considerably
48
in the last year. It will
not be easy to
market
49
our products if they are seen as
overpriced
