Beauty was no longer in Berlei’s hands. ■ Suppleness, too, departed. For industrial regulations reduced the amount of elastic in a garment to a bare \ few inches, and the time and material allowed for beauty’s sake alone, to I , O absolutely nil. I V Berlei went to war —turning out battledress and other necessary clothing 1 HMI f for the Services — and this supple Berlei beauty of 1939 became virtually a museum piece 1 . 1 ‘ But an end is in sight.

Sas*»«f «“» 3 I MICE PAIN NAGS at your NERVES and wears you down. Pain is a CHEAT, it robs millions of happiness and contentment. It is no respecter of persons. Pain attacks come suddenly in many forms. There are Head Pains — Rheumatic Pains — Nerve Pains—Headache—Toothache—Earache—Sciatic Pains, etc. In minor cases of pain, take two or three ‘ASPRO’ Tablets and that is usually the end of the attack. In major cases take ‘ASPRO’ Tablets according to the directions in the packet. ‘ASPRO’ Tablets are among the greatest antidotes for pain yet introduced to the world. They are easy to take — quick in action —and certain with results. Their action is soothing and comforting and their perfect uniform purity conforms to the standard laid down by the British Pharmacopoeia (the . pharmaceutical authority of the Medical . _ Profession). r: GIVES QUICK RELIEF ' PRICES: 6id., J/7, 2/8, 4/9 PER PACKET Aspro Ltd., Manufacturing Chemists, Marion Street, Wellington.
