There's panic in Bugville! Cockroaches are dying by the thousands! Use Peterman's Roach Food in your house. Exterminate every mach. Don't fight roaches with a spray. You must have a powder and Peterman's is the right powder. It entices roaches from their hiding places. They carry it back on their legs and bodies to their nesta behind baseboards, under floors where no spray could possible reach. Every adult roach, the young, every egg in the entire colony is exterminated. Nothing is left but a little dry dust. Use PETERMAN'S ROACH FOOD now, Keep them out. Don't let them get a start.

The difference. materially will be that while the machine-gun Carden-Loyds wil draw a trailer with the spare mèn, the "in-fighting" Carden-Loyds will carry only the firer and driver, dispensing with trailers in order to gain mobility.
