IMPORTED ENGLISH SETS
LUXURY FOR MOTORISTS

Very attractive lunch sets and tea
baskets have just come from London for
the use of the American motorist. and
the fact that these are imported from
England is sufficient to prove that they
are thoroughly modern in every way.
for who knows better than the English
how TO get up all little luxuries for the
motor trip?
These new lunch sets are fitted into
leather cases that are shaped to serve
as a footrest for the mOtorist while
touring The outfit includes cups. cut
lery. mustard cruet, sandwich boxes
and napkins There is also space for
thermos bottles. which seem a neres-
sary thing in every lunch set nowadays.
They are expensive. of course. but then
luxury comes high.

tive as the lunch. sets. and contain
