THE TRUTH ABOUT
REAL CHOCOLATES !!
When you bite into a CLIFTON Chocolate: and taste fruit, you know quite well it's the flavour of real fruit, which has been picked for its absolute perfection.
CLIFTON Chocolates are widely known for their smooth richness, tooth- some fillings and delightful sweetness, while
mints creams, fruits, nuts and caramels are daintily assorted and elegantly packed.

A WARNING against Soviet dump ing was one of the surprisca in

The process (of Jumping) has started already and I fear we must be prepared for a possible rapid development. How to deal with this danger of having the markets of the world flooded by Soviet goods produced and marketed under conditions utterly alien from the standards of other countries, is a question which I cannot undertake to discuss, but it is one which, I feel. deserves close study and thought by all those affected, and there are few indeed to whom this does not apply.
