MISS SPARKES 142-148 Armagh Street. * rr 'i r?:' V m*&r i'- \ X *&***• Casting with Cordite When a rippling wake broke the smooth surface 'of the Gulf of Aden, this commander of H.M. Trawler “Moonstone” decided to try a cast. After the first depth charge, one of Italy’s largest submarines broke the surface with evident haste, and engaged the trawler with two guns, torpedoes and machine guns. Unruffled, the “Moonstone” fired her solitary gun with such accuracy that comedy was lent to a very gallant episode as the “Moonstone” struggled to port with her colossal catch. The breadth of the grins on her tiny deck indicated that even if the fish were tinned, it was still good fishing. This action proved that quality rather than quantity of fire decides an issue and between this engagement and Berger Paints is a perfect parallel. Two paintings with ordinary paint may last as long as one with B.P. But as labour costs more than paint, you not only halve your painting costs with Berger, you .avoid the risk that is present with inferior paints. The reason is that no satisfactory substitute for white lead in paint is yet discovered. There are on offer today paints with as low as one-sixth the amount of genuine white lead that is in B.P.—some even have none at all; but despite the times, the claims and the temptations, Bergers still has the full measure of finest white lead and zinc oxide. Even though the Berger plants throughout the Empire are concentrating on products for the fighting services, we are still able to supply Berger 8.P., “Staygrccn” Roof Paint, Pompeian Enamels, Kem Super Finish for cars and furniture. These products are still made to the old “quality” standard and each iif its field is the finest that money can buy. FOUNDED IN LONDON 1760 er STOCKISTS s ASHBY, BERGH & CO. LTD., Christchurch.
