Findlaters Dry Club
Sherry
Shipped
London.
BY APPOINTMENT.
For sharpening the palate and giv- ing a fine zestful appetite, no drink can compare with the delightfully smooth nutty flavour of Findlater's Dry Club Sherry.
A glass before dining is the con- noisseur's salute to fine food-sim ply say "Findlater's Sherry” finer sherry can be ordered... Blended in Spain for Findlater's since 1923 and sold in Hong Kong in prime condition in all Clubs, Hotels and Compradore stores. SMOKING DOES NOT AFFECT THE FINE FLAVOUR OF FIND LATER'S SHERRY.
