The invoice relates to the sale of 3 Cambridge covers, total cost including postage to Guernsey, 12 shillings. Ewen Limited were headed by a J.E. Alcock (Chairman) and J.A. Garton (Director), and were members of the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders), Associate members of The British Cycle & Motorcycle Manufacturers & Traders Union Ltd, and also the Motor Trade Association. Does anyone remember this business? whether they traded solely in the pre-war years, or continued selling motor & bicycle parts into the 40s and 50s, I don't know as yet.

This invoice is another reminder of how nicely illustrated some of the early 20th Century business invoices were. Several more motor-trade related examples can be found in the Motoring Collectables section, many of which also date to the 1930s.
