If Case goes to the Dons, he will
be playing in the same city that

The Baltimore Colts expect to
solve their quarterback problem in a
trade which will bring the Los Ange-
les Dons' Angelo Bertelli to the new
All-America Conference team for re-
Gently acquired Ernie Case, it was
learned last night.
Case, slightly built passing star of
UCLA's Pacific Coast Conference
champions, signed with the Colts
after weighing offers from the Green
Bay Packers and the Baltimoreans,
hut at that time he indicated pref
erence 70 play on the West Coast.
+, Case would be a tremendous draw
ing card with the Dons after a great
year with the Bruins. His pass
catching partner, Burr Baldwin,
signed with Coast team, the San
Francisco 49ers of the AAC although
he too was drafted by Green Bay
of the rival National League.
Alternated With O'Rourke.
Bertelli, All-American at Notre
Dame in 1943, played with the Dons
last year and alternated at the
quarterback spot with Charley
ORourke of Boston College. Ber-
telli was the center of a preseason
court fight between the Dons and
the Boston Yankees, but went with
the Dons after it was ruled he would
play football with Los Angeles or not
st all.
With ORourke and Bertelli on
hand, the Dons could afford to trade
the latter for player of greater
local reknown, although Case is un-
tested in the pro ranks and was
termed too small to make good by
Green Bay Packer scouts.

Shave tests reveal: Regardless of price
no difference between leading brands

Only true test of razor blade is: Shaue
Uith it. Americas highest Government
authority on standards knows of no other
way to compare blades for shave-ability.
So. before you pay high prices for blades,
do this:
Take two razors exactly alike. In one
razor. place the brand of blade you now
use-we don't care if it costs you as much
Is 81 for ten. In the other razor, place
15-for-25c Berkeley Blade. Now-so that
you won't know which blade is which
have someone else hand you first one
razor, then the other. Shave with one
razor, then with the second, and SO on
until you finish your shave. See if you can
detect any difference between blades.
Weri bet on "photo-finish"
We've watched men try these hidden
blade" tests again and again and again.

And no blade, not even the most costly,
had real edge on its competitors.
In other words, there's no mysterious,
magic formula for making one blade better
than the others.
So why pay more
than Berkeley's 1S-for2sf price?
If you choose, you can pay 8 times as much
yes, even 6 times as much-for other
brands. But, no matter how many shaves
you get per blade, you'll find no better
blade than Berkeley at any price! Mil
lions of Berkeley users already know this.
Your own hidden blade shave test will
prove it to you.
IA million packages, representing over
IL billion shaves, were sold In 1916.
Money back if you try Berkeley Blades and
don't agree that there's no better blade at
any price!
