HIS tea is simply delicious thanks to the way it is blended and thanks to the way it is packed.
It is a blend of Indian teas of tip-top quality v-a combination' that comes out uncommonly well in the cup.
And it is vacuum packed. The tin harbours no stagnant tea-destructive tropical air. Not a vestige of the tea-goodness can disappear before you are ready to use it.
Just you faste Brooke Bond tea. That will tell you more than all the arguments that can be marshalled into print.

LIMOUSINE SEDAN.
Combining the qualities of a chauffeur-driven car with those of a closed car for family use, the Buick Limousine Sedan is a distinctive addition to the Bulok line for 1924. It is another evidence of Buick's. policy of furnishing a car for the majority, of motoring needs.
The one-piece curved glass that separates the driving compart- ment from the tonneau can be lowered completely out of sight by simply turning a small handle on the back of the front seat. The car is then converted Into a Sedan for the use of the owner or members of the family.
