THE HEAD-HUNTERS
A Cheerful Booklet
Messrs. Caldbeck Macgregor have Just issued an amusing and in- structive booklet, as there's many true word said in fest. The booklet is entitled "Head-Hunters" and tells those who imbibe how to avoid this malady. It is excellent ly and extensively illustrated and altogether well got up, the flus-- trations of the two we Macgregors being specially recommended to the public notice.
The story is written in verde and describes Mr. Caldbeck and Mr. Macgregor on Journey of re- formation through the territory they cover. They start at Penang
Eastward working
calling at
Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong. Shanghai, and Tien- tsin, with appropriate comic verses giving in each case considerable local colour. In the centre of the booklet there is a priceless map showing the exact locality of the Caldbeck Macgregor Alling stations. The publication Is bright throughout and it will be more of
pleasure to drink some brands of liquor after reading it and if the Head-Hunters advice is taken no after effects should be felt. It concludes with:-
"The epitapin of those who ride In hearses 13 written on the bottles they drink of."
