PROPRIATORS,

GLASGOW, S

We decided on Quality

WHISKY

TRULY, SCOTLAND'S

LEADING SPIRIT ....

Results proved as right

Returning to the Trade after demobilisation we decided to produce a whisky superior to any on the market.. After exhaustive tests by experts "Red Hackle" was produc- ed and by being placed First in the Competition open to ALL SCOTCH WHISKIES at the Brewers' Exhibition in London our opinion has been confirmed. ... We won, not only First Prize, but many new friends whom we are certain you will join once you have sampled "Red Hackle."

DELIGHTFUL CONCERTS IN

CALIFORNIA

----

While everyone is familiar with advertisements setting forth the charms of southern California as a resort country it remained for the several recently inaugurated trans- continental radio-casts originating in San Francisco to introduce the country at large to the thriving cul- tural life of the Pacific coast cities. This new bond of interest is being strengthened materially by the Friday afternoon concerts given by the Pacific Little Symphony Or- chestra, directed by Max Dolin.

The plans are petitive, and each offers certain ad-; vantages. The 'Monophane' has the advantage of the better circuit of- fered by lead-covered, underground | telephone wires. It will probably be the carrier for future television. The power circuit has the advan- tage of numerous convenience out- lets from cellar to garret over the house. They will make the pro- grammes available in any room, and to almost every city home."

Patent Suit Pending General Squier believes the major difficulties with his two systems, now in the hands of big companies, have been overcome. However, a patent suit is still pending over the Monophone.

The power line instrument is likely to make its appearance on a large scale first, General Squier said. In fact, plans are under way for a

demonstration in Cleveland this spring.
