To North Staffordshire Railway Co
Stoke -on-Trent
As we are to introduce a new trade in soda from Runcorn to Stroud we need as low a rate as possible to compete with the Railway. The 2s 3d rate is heavy for the 55 miles from Preston Brook to Haywood Junction. The Stafford & Worcester quote 1s from there to Stourport, 46 1/2 miles. Can you get a special rate for this trade?
