 Sweat Bands Use Fifty- Five Million 

 Feet of Leather a Year 



LOOK at the sweat band in your hat 

 .V or cap. It is about two inches 

 wide and twenty-five inches long a 

 Httle thing, you say. It takes an annual 

 total of fifty-five million feet of leather 

 to put this band in the head- 

 gear men wear. It is, in truth, 

 one of the biggest little leather 

 leaks brought to the 

 attention of the public. 

 But it is not a difficult 

 leak to stop. By wearing 

 hats or caps with sub- 

 stitute leather bands or 

 no bands at all, you can 

 divert the leather to 

 more important needs.

Protecting the Phono- 

 graph from Scratches 

 During Transportation 



THE phonograph cabinet is designed to 

 be as ornamental a piece of furniture 

 as the piano. The dealer 

 therefore, realizes the 

 importance of handling 

 it with care. One com- 

 pany is emplo^dng a 

 khaki moving - cover 

 which is so designed 

 that it makes the cabi- 

 nets easier to handle 

 and protects them 

 from any danger of 

 scratching, bump- 

 ing or finger-marks. 



This khaki cover 

 is shown in the ac- 

 companying illus- 

 tration. It is pro- 

 vided with strong 

 straps into which 

 the arms of the carrier 

 fit, and other straps 

 which pass under the 

 cabinet. 



There is also a loop 

 by which the cover may 

 be hung up when not 

 in use. 



Protected by its khaki cover the cab- 

 inet can be moved without danger of 

 being marred even by finger-marks 



Clearing the streets cf 

 London with an illumina- 

 ted warning carried by 

 automobile. After the 

 danger is past, the reverse 

 side of placard is shown 

 telling that the way is clear 



The Paul Reveres of Lon- 

 don Ride in Placarded 

 Automobiles 



ENGLAND has had so many air-raids 

 that special provision has been made 

 in the large cities to warn the people when 

 the enemy airplanes have been sighted. 



The illustrations 

 show placarded auto- 

 mobiles sent out to 

 give the warnings. 

 The side lights are 

 used to illuminate 

 the signs, so that he 

 who runs may read 

 and get under 

 cover. In a few 

 minutes after the 

 invading airplanes 

 have been sighted, 

 the streets of the 

 city are without a 

 sign of life. If a 

 person should be at 

 too great a distance 

 from shelter to reach 

 it, he drops to the ground. 

 The signs are reversible, 

 and on the opposite side 

 of the "Take Cover" 

 placard, the "All Clear" 

 sign is displayed.
