“Who said that?” ME? Related to HIM? Hey, you trying to start sumpi i? You looking for a funeral? AU right, then —don’t say such \ things ” AESOP UP-TO-DATE U'JWj • Upon a certain day, salth Aesop (or mayhap ’twas us —we saith considerable wisdom ourselves sometimes) a Fox passeth by a large tree. And there he beheld a Boar stropping of his tusks with,' energy and determination.. The Fox stared in puzzlement. Then did he ope wide his mouth, whereupon these words fell out: • “And why, O Grandfather of Hitler, dost thou so energetically prepare for battle? No enemy do I see, nor is thine grandson in the neighbourhood.” • And the Boar made reply, saying: “Insult not me nor mine with that name, Fox, an thou value thy measly hide. For he is not of the tribe of Hog, but of the tribe of Hun, a much lower order. And as for reasons, hearken thy long ears to this one. Should an enemy—or, perchance, that Na«i little Squirt—bob up, then I shall be prepared, and shall have else to do than whet my weapons.” • And this simple story doth apply before we are come to the setting of another sun. For while the people of the land can not now buy Whoopee, Gold-mounted Walking Sticks and Persian Rugs made in Birmingham, they can and will prepare for the summer season to the extent that coupon-books allow. And with the soft touch of Spring on the land the preparation of the wardrobe for the coming season is now none too early. • So on with doublet and hose, and away to the House of Bullick-Blackmore. And thence, in fine raiment bedecked, to the palace of thine ancestors, subsequently to meditate with quiet gratitude on the excellence of thy garments . . . AND the wisdom of thine advisers ... . • Apropos of the above, we’ve a darned fine lot of SPORTS COATS in at the moment—and you’ll probably need one this summer. Drop in and see them next time you’re passing. BULLICKBLACKMORE LIMITED. TEMPORARY ADDRESS: Opposite Hugo & Shearer’s I fH. QUEEN STREET - - MASTERTON.
