XS LORNA LONDON Says - "WHAT A COMPLETE WASH-OUT LAST WEEK-END WAS!" Instead of beach clothes, khaki shorts or slacks my thoughts were more with oilskins, flannel and open fires last week-end and my long promised week-end in the garden is still just a promise for some other week-end in the future. Unpredictable as the weather might be it has not dampened my enthusiasm for gardening and provided I am well protected from the wind and rain I don't mind slushing around in the wet . . . when I say "protected" I mean, of course, "protectively clothed" and that has been a specialty of Londontown . . . the provision of wet-weather wear whether it is for gardeners, farm workers or city dwellers. You will always find the range extensive and the costs low. At this stage of the year when work around the farm is reaching its peak it would be well to point out that Blankets suitable for shearers, casual farm workers or for Under-Blankets on your single beds are now being offered at Londontown. These Blankets, purchased from the Navy to fill an urgent demand for extra accommodation for seasonal workers, are available in three qualities . but all three qualities represent good value at 25/-, 28/6 and 32/6' Let me know very early the number and the quality you require for these will sell very fast and although I have had a large number set \aside for country clients that supply will very soon be exhausted.
