ROUGH DIAMONDS

We Want Amsterdam Business

HATTON GARDEN diamond merchants, in co-operation with the Board of Trade, are making n bid for a new export market worth £8,000,000 a year. This figuré represents the value of the cut stones which used to be imported by the U.S.A. from Holland and Belgium.

Antwerp and Amsterdam can no longer supply the American demand, because German-occupied territories cannot get rough diamonds from, the South African mines. South Africa has always shipped the uncut stones to England, the distributing centre.

two The Board of Trade have reasons for encouraging the develop- ment of the Industry here: to avert | A depression in the South African mines and to increase Britain's dollar balance.

DOCTORS AND SOIENTISTS USE HOALIOKS IN HOSPITAL TESTS RECENTLY tests were made in a great

hospital on men and women who com plained of always feeling tired.

It was found that these people had an excess of acid waste products in their blood during sleep.

This acid waste kept the brain and nerves 'on edge' all night oven though the rest of the body was sound asleep.

But when Horlicks was given to these people last thing at night, this excess acid waste was completely neutralised. They woke refreshed, with increased energy and vitality.

HE TEACHES TYRES

NOT TO SKID

THE famous tread-design of

Goodyear tyres is much more than a neat, handsome arrange. ment of sharp diamond blocks of stubborn rubber.

It's the safest tread-design in all the world!

That design didn't just happen. It's the result of hundreds of ex- periments and depends upon such things as the size and shape of the spaces, riding ribs, and dia- mond blocks in Goodyear's sure- gripping tread.

Safety, long-wear, and sure trac- tion are the first consideration of the scientists, and engineers who work in Goodyear's laboratories -the finest rubber development laboratories in the world..

Not until a new tyre satisfies all these requirements can it earn that little blue and yellow flag that you see on the sidewall of every Goodyear tyre.

No matter which Goodyear tyre you select, you get the most for your money at the price you pay. Fit a full set of new Goodyeari now and join the happy millions who always choose Goodyears.
