Hurricanes and Spitfires AUSTINS, .d QUALITY The success of the Hurricane and Spitfire fighters is due in a large measure to the traditional British quality of engineering and workmanship. The highest praise is due to the gallant men who fly and fight in them. The same policy of Quality and Integrity of Workmanship has always governed the production of the famous Austin Motor Cars. The Austin is well-known for Economy of Running, both in petrol and oil High Resale Value Roominess Dependability Safety. i AUSTIN B’s and 10’s YOU BUY A CAR . . .

BERGERS I N ACTION ■pPHH|| ;'. ; ,.|| 1 ,:-' : > W'.."" i X : ;■•■ m Casting with Cordite When a rippling wake broke the smooth surface of the Gulf of Aden, the commander of H.M. Trawler “Moonstone” decided to try a cast. After the firstj 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 lire 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., “Staygreen” Roof Paint, Pompeian Enamels, Kem Super Finish for cars and furniture. These products are still made to the old “quality” standard and each in its field is the finest that money can buy. STOCKISTS— B FOUNDED IN LONDON 1760 eiftr H. J. SAVAGE & SONS. LTD. BUXTONS LTD..
