The plea that newspapers were the most perishable articles in existence was put forward by Sir William Acland, director of Messi W. H. Smith and Son, when supporting an application for the licensing of two extra motor vehicles of the W. H. Smith Transport Company before the Northern Traffic Commissioners in Newcastle. When asked whether the egg did not challenge the newspapers’ claim to perishability, he replied that staleness in eggs was a" matter of days; staleness in news might be the matter of an hour or so.
