nnn Right round EIUGLAMD and SCOTLAND t, ts-5-0 The Hillman Minx, the roomiest car at the price, has proved also to be the most economical. The latest mail brings details of this astonishing economy trial, run under direct observation of the Royal Automobile Club. A Hillman Minx Stock Car was handed over to a driver with the sum of five guineas this to pay for petrol, oil, grease, repairs and replacements, (actually the only repair required was a broken speedometer cable.) The cat was loaded with driver, R.A.C. observer, passenger,and baggage. The car covered 2364.5 miles before the £5-5-0 was expended, and the trip occupied 11 days. <5 Ciw.rs 'Ey wsa >3# m mi INVERNESS Aberdeen / T' mu f i Dundee RTH WB a Stirling mIM CtASOOW s i m BtRWCH m w .t-WCA: \ Cuumi O&RUHCtWf S ■yjsr 1 VfeMSMERI h iilft Manchester i Leeds Sheffield Lincoln:; Newark Newcastle ISr.rn) '■.'■■sStamforo Birmincham St ■J '■ : '.;-ViPetcrroro WMln :**c Cambridcb WORCESTER * ::\A, f/i ? rrSX .•s'wf kM, ; xJIJ.ONDQUI Subs Taunton M Arrived 8p m Exetc May Mileea^ 3^ Tift • /&(, tAHOS EWO :3o 2364 mile® at 1 per tile a x. a <0 What greater proof of the economy of Minx ownership!—up hill and down dale, from the foot of England to the top of Scotland and back —in traffic and out —and an average of 36.5 miles per gallon!

I Fell vm m .. . like many others ifT WAS caught once . . . hut never I again! Like many others I thought I was a great little economist when I bought my first pound of cheap tea. And I bought quite a number of pounds before I found that my monthly bill for tea was more when I got cheap tea than when I had used * Amber Tips.* Then I woke up to the fact that I had been using one, two, and sometimes three more spoonsful of socalled ‘ cheap ’ tea than 1 did with ‘Amber Tips.’ You hardly notice the way in which you get the habit of adding extra spoonsful of tea to the pot. Then I made a test. ‘ Amber Tips ’ v. ‘ Cheap * Tea. With the particular tea I was using at the time I found four teaspoonsful were needed to make the same quantity of tea as was produced by two spoonsful of ‘ Amber Tips’ ” ! ill iipi 'j y '■'/ ' ' m Wm i '//'//A wm m mm £ And o£ course fit’s ever so much nicer to drink the best Tea mm “Amber Tips” m m mmm mm m m m m mm mm?' mm i 18« t m Wm m
