WHISKY
PROVED SCOTLAND'S LEADING SPIRIT
The spirit of quality and conscientious service, which actuates this business and which is so jealously guarded has been fully Justified in our gaining First Prize at the Brewers' Exhibi- tion in London. . The competition was open to all Brands of Scotch Whisky but "Red Hackle" triumphed with one accord the seven expert judges placed "Red Backle" first. We feel that once you have tried "Red Hackle" you will also accord it first place and that your friends will sharo your enthusiasm for this, the acknowledged leader of Scotch Whiskies.

One of the greatest problems which those who produce portable and small self-contained receivers have to face is how to combine good quality of reproduction and low battery maintenance costs, writes

Four or five valves are usually necessary. Five valves are gen- erally used when the receiver is to be of the simplified type having one main tuning control, and a further control for reaction or volume. But when the expenditure of another Pound or two is of no importance |
