"Better be sure than sorry”
Better make certain of securing whisky of absolute reliability by specifying
JOHNNIE WALKER
than run the risk of getting immature spirit by merely ordering "whisky."
The perfect maturity of every single bottle of "Johnnie Walker "is positively ensured by the largest ageing reserve of pure malt Scotch whisky in the trade-never less than three-and-a-half million gallons.

MARVELS OF DECORATION.
When first built, the Casino contained nothing of the art treasures, the mirrors and gilding that ornament the building of to-day, and consisted solely of the Atrium, a gambling room, and a reading rooze. In order to people this arid de sert, those employed to exploit the Casino actually offered free land to anyone who could build villos or hotels thereon; but the offer was refused, and the land once to be had for nothing is to-day of price-
less value.
