SURPRISE VISIT !

ROYALTY AT BERLEI HOUSE, LONDON 11. R.H. PRINCE GEORGE IMPRESSED Imagine yourself as one of the major executives of an organisation, suddenly being informed that Royalty was awaiting without, to be conducted through the concern on a tour of inspection! No warning! No preparation! j From England comes news that this io exactly what happened to Miss Mary Craven, Director and Designer for Berlei (United Kingdom), Ltd., j Regent street,. London, when Prince i George honoured the Company with a surprise vjsit recently. Naturally, everyone was tremend- , ously excited to receive unexpectedly such an exalted visitor. His Royal Highness, who displayed a very deep interest in the different phases of corsetry production, was particularly im-. pressed by the Berlei Type Indicator, which has revolutionised and simplified corsetry design and fitting by placing both on a truly scientific basis. Prince George also expressed very great pleasure in the fact that the organisation was an Empire one, developing and securing in England a trade which for so long had been going abroad. Though one of the youneest corsetry firms in England, Berlei (United Kingdom), Ltd., has in the four years of its existence, created a foremost position for itself in the Corset manufacturing industry. Like its Associate Companies, it caters for the highest class trade, and the ever-growing appreciation for the design, workmanship, and quality of its creations in the British Isles, predicts a popularity there for the brand as outstanding as that enjoyed by Berlei in other parts of the world, where the name Berlei and Figure Beauty are now synonymous. —1 SPREYDON SCHOOL JUBILEE The diamond jubilee of the Spreydon School will be celebrated in November and the various committees, who are making preparations for its celebration, are sparing no effort to ensure the complete success of the various functions.
