As Clever as a Cat

... Airgead Sios is a wonder horse over fences. He makes mistakes, but, left to his own devices, he is as clever as a cat in keeping his feet. Very wisely trainer Tabor and jockey McNeill have made no attempt to school him into a polished performer. In the Optional Selling Chase at Newbury last week he chanced at least three fences, but his great powers of recovery saved him each time. Here he is ...

A Car for Economy Times

... By Highwayman ADOLF HITLER put a spoke in many Midland wheels when he started the trouble in September, but during my little tour in those parts the other day I found nobody with quite so strong a grievance against him as the Hillman people. They were within three days of launching a new model of which they were-- and are-- very proud. Everything was ready, the car tested and in production, ...

A Grand Winter Resort

...

We Are Still Making Cars

... By Highwayman OUR big car factories are still making cars and, on the export side, are exceptionally busy, with almost as many orders as they can cope with. This rather surprising state of affairs was disclosed to me when I paid a round of calls in the Midlands at the end of the third month of war. Although it was known that the Government were keen to encourage exports, I had expected to ...

New Year Accessories

... THERE are still months of cold weather to come, but these warm driving gloves, 25/6, from Burberry, in the Hay- market, will see you through them.
