Travel Cases For Islands

Residents

SINCE war began, Australian manufacturers have learned the truth of that old adage, “necessity is the mother of invention”. Cut off from normal supplies of the tough fibre needed for their Fordite travel cases, Ford Sherington, Ltd., of Sydney, commenced investigations which have resulted in the discovery of a still tougher and better-wearing fibre for this purpose. It is a vulcanised material, made by a new process, which gives greater strength at a cost very little higher than for the old type of fibre. Stocks of the new Fordite attache and suit-cases have beeh made available to all Island traders. Ford Sherington, Ltd.’s announcement in this issue gives particulars of prices, etc., and catalogues may be obtained by writing to the firm’s head office in Kippax Street, Sydney.— ***
